The White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals: Delegate Workbook. Workshop V: Social Concerns (3). Architectural/Transportation/Communications.
The fifth of eight delegate workbooks prepared for the May, 1977 White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals contains ballots for the workshop on the architectural, transportation and communication problems of handicapped persons. The ballots are designed to enable delegates to assign priorities to various issues and proposals in a way that reflects conclusions of state and territorial conferences. The following issues are among those considered: enforcement of existing architectural accessibility requirements; accessible housing for handicapped persons; paratransit (door to door service) for disabled persons; pricing of specially equipped personal vehicles; training programs for communication facilitators; and standards for communications systems and devices. For each such topic, multiple proposals, to which delegates must assign priorities, are listed. For example, suggested ways in which handicapped individuals can increase architectural accessibility include compliance boards, public education programs, citizen review groups and political action.
