Today I am changing it up a bit and sharing some tips that I make sure to do before visiting a place to ensure accessibility will be available upon my arrival. If you are a wheelchair user then you know every outing requires a bit of planning and researching.
One thing that I have learned to be very effective is to simply “google” the place you are going to. Thanks to google you can see the inside, exterior of the place, entrance, and even parking lot of the facility. That way you already have an idea with what your working with. By doing so, it will make your day much smoother and enjoyable. If you do not find what you are looking for then I recommend the “Yelp” app to read reviews of real people that have already visited the place.
The best approach is to simply just call the restaurant and ask a staff employee wether or not it will be accommodating for you. Don’t be embarrassed to ask questions, it is completely okay to know if you will have access to the patio area or if the restroom is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
