Mansfield And Wishart Case Study

Decent Essays
The area of Mansfield and Wishart lacks footpaths and if created, would improve the liveability of the area. It is recommended that the Brisbane City Council makes more footpaths for those in wheelchairs or parents with prams as some streets in Wishart and Mansfield don’t have footpaths. This will improve the freedom for people in wheelchairs and parents as they will be able to do simple things like going to the shops much easily. Therefore, creating footpaths in Wishart and Mansfield would help many residents and make the area more popular for those who are disabled and families with young children. The lack of playground equipment designed for disabled children is an aspect that many people wouldn’t notice but families who have children

The memoir tells us about what Mairs lives with, Muscular Dystrophy, but it also speaks to the larger category of mobility impairmenst in every section of the book.

Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…
