I consider that everybody has the suitable to navigate the world freely and safely, which is what I give attention to most with my Google Maps evaluations. I attempt to add info that may assist others determine if a spot is LGBTQI+ or accessibility pleasant — or ideally, each.
I’ve spent loads of time over time in search of accessibility-friendly options all over the place I am going, whether or not it’s a restaurant, a retailer or a park. It’s second nature for me to search for ramps and wheelchair lifts, indicators with braille or info on listening to loop sound programs for folks with listening to aids. I’ll take a fast picture of the doorway, take a psychological word of parking within the space and search for an accessible entrance. Once I’m inside, I take images and movies of the final structure of the place. Movies are particularly essential for individuals who might have a sensitivity to loud environments. I additionally search for restrooms and bathrooms and whether or not they have child altering services. I add this sort of info in my evaluations and add images or movies so folks can see how accessible a spot is earlier than they arrive.
