Make society accessible,
stess disabled students
By MIKE RUST
01 the Emerald
It’s estimated that one out of
every 10 people is disabled. To
increase understanding of the
problems associated with dis
abilities, the United Nations de
clared 1981 the International
Year of Disabled Persons.
The idea behind IYDP is
“making society accessible,”
says Physically Limited Union of
Students director Chester
Faller. Local groups are working
to give disabled people access
to roles that society has tradi
tionally viewed as closed to dis
abled citizens.
Disabled people — Faller calls
them the “last minority” — are
working in two movements, says
PLUS member Susan Sygall.
One is the effort to obtain equal
rights. The other is a consumer
movement that seeks to let dis
abled people “take control of
our lives,” she says.
In addition to political activity,
many disabled people also are
pursuing cultural equality in
various arts, often subsidized by
the National Endowment of Arts
for the handicapped.
“A lot of these groups are
starting out not so much to be
separate but to be integrated
into theater, television and
dance,” Sygall says.
Few television shows feature
disabled doctors or lawyers, she
points out.
“It’s necessary to have posi
tive role models. It’s changing,
but it’s sure as hell slow."
Another example of the disa
bled integrating their concerns
with other interests is the IRON
DUCHESS, described by
member Anet Mconel as “a
support group for women with
disabilities that places an em
phasis on feminism.”
The IRON DUCHESS group,
now five years old, grew out of
the first University Women’s
Symposium. The group spells
its name in capital letters “for
our egos,’’ Mconel says. It
works with disabled consumer
groups such as the Center for
Independent Living she says.
“They establish a philosophy
of independent living. Feminism
fits in well with that.”
However, budget cuts are
casting a pall over the domestic
effort to achieve equality for
disabled persons.
“Reagan’s being sarcastic
when he talks about the Inter
national Year of Disabled Peo
ple,” says Faller, who predicts
that the IYDP “will have the
same effect as International
Women’s Year — not a damn
lot.
However, one IYDP project
may help bring about change —
encouraging developing coun
tries to begin industries for in
expensive “do-it-yourself”
wheelchairs. Multinational cor
porations currently are selling
the necessary technology to
Third World nations, Falter says.
Another area where acces
siblity is important is transpor
tation, Faller says. There the
United States lags behind other
countries.
“Socialist European coun
tries are way ahead. We get
accessible vehicles from Can
ada. GM decided there wasn’t a
big enough profit margin in ac
cessible transportation.”
Rather than gradually replace
their current models with ac
cessible vehicles, GM prefers to
develop specialized buses,
Faller says. However, a local
LTD study has shown that it is
more cost-effective to phase in
accessible buses instead of us
ing special vehicles, he adds.
