Disability is a critical health condition. Particularly when a person is suffering from some physical disparity, the conditions often get worse on his part. Either its disability or some similar condition the person cant be restricted to homes. He has to move out and has to be the part of society. More over he has to move out to meet his daily needs. And keeping the disabled isnt justified either way. Either the disability is natural or a result of some accident or disease, one cant restrict them to live freely and be the active part of society. So in that case they are to be addressed properly or in fact in specialty so that they dont consider them out of this society.
One cant take away their natural fundamental rights so there is a need to modify our social environment and
infrastructure in a manner that both the normal individuals and people with disability and co exist in harmony. This is what
brought in a specialized working class of access consultants. Access consultants are the professionals who deal with making the overall working environment in accordance to some basic needs of the individuals with disability. They understand the specific requirements of such individuals and try to frame an environment that particularly suits them and their
needs.
This fact implies more to the commercial structures and buildings. According to the disability discrimination act (DDA)
the building structures especially the commercial ones should be built in a way that they suite the individual requirements of the individuals with disability. For that each building structure has to gain the access statement on its behalf. This access statement certifies the fact that the building is good enough to meet the necessities of disabled and give them a better working environment. It also makes sure that the whole building has those certain set standards followed as described by DDA.
An access consultant will not just bring to you the need of access statement on the structural platform but he can also help you get the things corrected on social and emotional perspective as well. Often we tend to ignore or feel pity of the disability. Intentionally or unintentionally we tend to hurt the person. In this respect the access consultants organize the seminars and deliver lectures of equality training. Slideshows, video clips and statistics are displayed and the individuals are motivated to develop a co operative and healthy interaction with
the individuals with disability.
Even the disabled and given disability training in which they are told as how they can overcome their weakness and move within the society with confidence. A common problem with such people is that they tend to develop a complex of
inferiority and this can be major set back to them. So in that case the access consultants will help them overcome this and adapt themselves according to the changing demands.
