View submission: Accessibility Updates to Mod Tools: Part 1
Sure. I have a physical disability. I know that when it comes to improving access to buildings, companies will often hire a company to determine what changes need to be made.
But also, smart companies will also ask the people who use it, *What do you need?* Most companies, however, prefer to go with *What's the minimum we can do and have it be called accessible?*
I recently talked to an apartment complex about a new apartment. When I said that after I moved in I would have the bathtub converted to a walk-in shower [at my expense], they told me, "You're not allowed to do that. What happens is, you get a doctor's note explaining you need it *(this is legal)* and then we cut a hole in the side of the bathtub."
As if that's the same thing.
Reddit isn't going to let anyone install the shower. They're gonna cut a hole in the bathtub wall and claim it's the same thing, *even if I still can't get into the tub*.
There's nothing here!
