Barrier Awareness
Week 5
Barrier Awareness Activity
This is a three-part task that goes along with our discussion
about accessibility for people with physical disabilities.
You will be looking at three areas:
1) a local business (not WalMart, HyVee, or Lewis Drug),
2) a school (Hillcrest, MMS, etc.) OR a building on campus,
and
3) a house or apartment
Evaluate each of these places to see how they would
meet the needs of a person with a physical disability,
looking both outside and inside each place.
• Is there easy mobility?
• Are there obstacles or barriers that would need to be
removed in order to make it more accessible?
• What changes could be made that would improve the
accessibility?
Record your findings (to be handed in) and be prepared to
share your results at class next Tuesday.
