  What's Missing from Airline Access

  Even though people with disabilities are the largest minourity group around, we do not fight as a whole. There are so many different pieces in which one fights for and everybody is fighting for that one piece of pie. 
  
  However in order for our voices to be heard we need to continue speaking out. Let people both the general public and in the disability community become aware of such issues. This also includes writing to congress, our senators and Representatives. Especially around election time. They always seem to look into these matters as a stepping stone of being elected or re-elected. 
   
  This is how the well known organizations done it. They lobbied, done speeches or write. Those that could do one part but not the other is OK too. Getting onto forums to write about issues will let more people know what is needed. This way the more people know then the more advocates one will have. This always looks better as a whole instead of just a few.
  
  For example: Right now there have been a majour issue with schools not allowing service dogs in with students with disability's (mostly autism). These stories are being told by advocates on their forums and blogs how they are discriminating against students with disabilities. More and more people are commenting that didn't even know about such things before. And that's what one needs to get their point across. So the government will listen.
  
  As an person with different disabilities that do not fly I would never known what would be needed for reasonable accommodations. That's the part that would be needed to be addressed.
