I think sometimes people are so concerned with not staring at someone with a disability, that they don't realize it is just as bad to just walk past someone like they aren't even there! <br /><br />When you mentioned the availability of elevators in the mall, and getting from one floor to the next, it made me think about having to locate a restroom in a mall. I know that in some department stores, the restroom for women is only on the first floor and the restroom for men is on the second (or whatever the case may be). It is easy for me to quickly dash around the store looking, but it would be so frustrating to be in a wheelchair and have to ask around and then find an elevator. <br /><br />That older lady that complained about you not being in line sounds like she is one of those people that complains about anything. I mean, really? She had to make a comment? I often have to ask someone if they are in line or not, because of where they are standing, and I don't follow it up with a snarky comment like she did! How annoying. <br /><br />Great write up!<br /><br />I think it would interesting to do the 10 hour classroom observation as well. Maybe you will have the chance to do that as well!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347126530586729121noreply@blogger.com
