Is health care for women with disabilities inclusive?
When you are interested in or work with accessibility on a regular basis, you tend me be aware of whether such-and-such is truly accessible to all. This applies to everything whether it is writing, web pages, or the surrounding community. However, I was stopped in my tracks today by an interesting blog entry from Glenda Watson Hyatt. She poses an interesting question for October, the month of breast cancer awareness: how accessible is breast care to women with disabilities?
If you have an answer, stop by her blog and let her know how the screenings are handled for women with disabilities.
