Access into the building, acess into the bathrooms - of course these should be in place but aren't always in older facilities. Positive attitude of rink staff and support for program activities. All this counts for a lot! <br /><br />In our programs we welcome people as they are on the ice and invite the use of ice skating sleds and other equipment - but not everyone can use adaptive equipment.Marcy Marchellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732283765308771302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363100692048301191.post-49039521609548035532011-12-20T13:29:50.252-05:002011-12-20T13:29:50.252-05:00A regular wheelchair on ice with someone pushing i...A regular wheelchair on ice with someone pushing it...what's accessible about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363100692048301191.post-25634027324290627802011-12-20T05:01:02.604-05:002011-12-20T05:01:02.604-05:00Nice blog post !!Nice blog post !!Email List Brokerhttp://www.esalesdata.com/email-list/email-list-broker.phpnoreply@blogger.com
