Disability Friendly Environment
If we have a look at the whole scenario general public is involved in victimizing the disabled one's through their mere thoughts and looks upon them.Not but some of the population even consider disabled people as a recessive and useless part of the comunity..But if we look upon the contribution of the disabled people in the progress of the society we can't deny the fact that they have a special role
Most employers don’t realize their workplaces are not accessible for the disabled employees and customers. When it comes to the people with special needs, they tend to feel restricted in an inaccessible environment which may increase their stress and impact their productivity.
• A barrier-free environment is not enough, the approach should be focused on providing an accessible as well friendly environment, which also includes preparing the employees and staff for assisting disabled employees. Because, some of the disabilities are also with speech such as stammering or acute low vision, albinism etc.
• A disabled person may feel more stress and stigma in terms of bonding with colleagues or finding growth opportunities.
• Employees or staff can be trained on how to take care of the feelings and other emotional aspects when dealing with a specially able person.
• For the physically disabled, a barrier-free workplace can help them feel safer with better accessibility, and special accommodations can be made for them such as Designated parking for disabled people Lifts and ramp should be installed Should have the path or entrance accessible for the wheelchairs
• Separate or proper workstations for the disabled so that they can move and work freely using wheelchairs Accommodating workstations near entrance and near bathrooms Barrier signs or signage should be clear and large enough for low vision
