Joy of Helping others

Well blog viewers. Today a very special and intelligent man came and gave us a question & answer session today. His name is Josh. Josh has a certain type of muscular disorder. So he is imobilized and is in a wheelchair since the age of 10. Although he is limited to certain things he still loves to go out and do whatever he is capable of accomplishing in his scooter. He enjoys going to the parks that are in and around the Philly area. But somethings are just to hard for him and others who are disabled like Josh himself are limited to certain things. For instance, Josh has a hard time drinking from the water fountain, sitting at benches, etc. So a solution to this problem would be that you can have like a cutout that people in scooters can just driver right into the cutout of the bench and sit in. Or for water fountains maybe make them shorter or just more accesible. Also the different types of surface is another issue. Smooth is always better. Josh sometimes gets knocked off balance when he hits a bump or something like that and his scooter joystick will get locked in and go full speed undirected which isnt a good thing.
