  • There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the needs of disabled people vary depending on their specific disabilities. However, some tips for making a building more friendly to disabled people include installing ramps instead of stairs, adding handicapped parking spots, and including wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. Additionally, it's important to be aware of the specific needs of different types of disabilities. For example, people who are blind or deaf may need special signage or audio features in order to be able to navigate the building safely. And people with mobility impairments may need wide corridors and gentle slopes instead of steep staircases.

    You make a building friendly disabled by making sure that the entrances and exits are wheelchair accessible, by having elevators or ramps available, and by having Braille signs posted in strategic locations. You can also install flashing light signals near staircases to let visually impaired people know when it's safe to cross.
