The Bridge News from the Arizona Bridge to Independent Living Volume XVI, Number 6 June 2005 ABIL
offers and promotes programs designed to empower people with
disabilities to take personal responsibility so they may achieve or
continue independent lifestyles within the community. ABIL is a member
of the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL). "Not just
responding to change, but leading it!" Save
the Dates: July 26 & July 28 Tuesday, July 26th marks the 15th anniversary of the
passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Mark your
calendars now and plan to join us for an anniversary celebration held at

calendar. Denise Thompson Executive Director Arizona Office for Americans with Disabilities 602-542-6276 Denise.Thompson@AZDOA.GOV ----------------------------------- The
Life and Death Lessons of Terri Schiavo By Phil Pangrazio, ABIL Executive Director In April, I wrote an editorial
about the life and death of Terri Schiavo.
The editorial was published in the Arizona Republic.
The following is a reproduction of that editorial and some
concluding remarks. The life and death of Terri Schiavo has been a divisive
issue. There are two
lessons we should take from this tragedy. First, life, no matter how fragile, is precious and must be
protected by our laws and customs.
I know firsthand. I
have lived as a quadriplegic for over 25 years. I learned to live with my disability.
Initially, it was very difficult, but with time, I adjusted and
now I live like everyone else, I just do things a little differently.
I cringe when I hear people say, “if I were in that situation,
I’d rather be dead.” The
fact is, when confronted with disability, it is human nature to cling to
life. Thank God for that! Second, advances in medical technology will, in-fact, prolong
life beyond what many of us would consider acceptable.
Therefore, it is imperative that we understand our rights and
make our wishes known before tragedy strikes. A living will and an advanced directive are the only means to
ensure that our wishes are observed.
We should not desire politicians nor the courts to make these
decisions for us. This is a
slippery slope that we do not want to find ourselves on. Decisions about what life-sustaining supports we would desire
is a personal choice and can be specified in advance, but it must be in
writing! Let us all learn from controversial life and death of Terri
Schiavo. _____________________________________________________________________ Since the publication of this editorial, several people have
suggested I go a step further and provide additional clarification.
So, here goes! When I stated that, “advances in medical technology will,
in-fact, prolong life beyond what many of us would consider
acceptable,” I was referring to Schiavo’s presumed “vegetative
state.” Most medical experts agreed that Schiavo’s cognitive
abilities were non-existent. Her
life, as best we know, was sustained by artificial means.
It’s safe to say that everyone fears this type of existence. However, many have these same fears about living with
quadriplegia, such as those with spinal cord injuries, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy or amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis. Many in the
non-disabled world perceive life as not worth living under these
circumstances. Some even go
so far as to suggest that assisted suicide be available as a viable
alternative (i.e. Clint Eastwood and his movie Million Dollar Baby). I strongly oppose this view, as do most independent living
advocates. Learning to live
with a significant disability takes time and patience.
There are countless examples of people who live(d) wonderful and
quality filled lives while being significantly disabled. Christopher Reeves is probably the most recognizable.
The real lesson is to understand that peer-support, assistive
technology and personal assistant services are the vital ingredients
that make possible a positive adjustment to living with a significant
disability. --------------------------------------------- The “Bridge” newsletter is a free monthly publication of

Celebrate the ADA!!! Fifteen
years later, and what it really means to us. Third in a five-part series by Joanna Savidan with thanks to
Denise Thompson and Robert Lynch for the use of their synopsis’ Title
III – Public Accommodations A public accommodation is any private entity that owns,
operates, leases, or leases to, a place of public accommodation,
effective 1/26/92 (restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors’ offices,
pharmacies, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, private schools,
and day care centers) Auxiliary aids and services must be provided to individuals
with vision or hearing impairments or other individuals with
disabilities so that they can have an equal opportunity to participate
or benefit, unless an undue financial burden would result. Physical barriers in existing facilities must be removed if
removal is readily achievable (easily accomplishable and able to be
carried out without much difficulty or expense). If not, alternative
methods of providing the services must be offered, if those methods are
readily achievable. All new construction in public accommodations as well as in
commercial facilities such as office buildings, must be accessible. If
such facilities are located in multistory buildings, accessible
elevators are generally required to serve all floors.
Exemptions may be granted under certain conditions outlined in
ADA Access Design Standards and/or the Texas Accessibility Standards. Alterations must be accessible. When alterations to primary
function areas are made, an accessible path of travel to the altered
areas (and the restrooms, telephones and drinking fountains serving
those areas) must be provided to the extent that added accessibility
costs are not disproportionate to the overall cost of the alterations.
Elevators are required as described above. Entities such as hotels that also offer transportation
generally must provide equivalent transportation service to individuals
with disabilities. New fixed-route vehicles ordered on or after 8/26/90,
and capable of carrying more than 16 passengers, must be accessible.
Public accommodations must not discriminate against an
individual or entity because of the known disability of an individual
with whom the individual or entity is known to have a relationship or
association. <
< < < < < <
> > > > > > > On 12/29/03, Phoenix, Arizona won
the third annual Accessible America Contest by the National Organization
on Disability (N.O.D.) Phoenix surpassed 63 other American cities. The
state capital, which is also the largest city in Arizona was heralded as
a model for its focus on disability issues and its successful design of
programs, services and facilities that are accessible for citizens and
visitors who have disabilities. Of particular significance were the
designs built around the cultural context of the city’s life.
Phoenix’s application showed a dedication to integration and creative
ways to involve people with disabilities in their community. ADA/PDBTAC
Teleconference June
21st Noon-1:30
Phx/Kitchen It has been 15 years since many of the transportation
requirements under the ADA went into effect, yet people with
disabilities find that they do not have equal access to the public
transportation system in many communities. This session will provide an
overview of the status of implementation of the transportation
provisions under the ADA as well as highlight emerging issues. Best
practices by transit agencies and resources for more information will be
examined. RSVP to Darrel Christenson,
