The Accessible Icon Project

The Accessible Icon Project

Because I have adopted the Accessible Icon as this blog's icon, I feel like one of the first points of this blog should be a discussion of the Accessible Icon Project! 

Whether you have a disability or not, you know of the "handicapped" sign which indicates parking spots or ramps for people with disabilities. You know, this thing:

In order to learn more about why the new icon looks like it does, please follow the link! They will provide far more information than I can! However, I want to discuss why this is so important, at least in my perspective. I think my roommate put it best:

I didn't realize how wrong the old sign was until I saw this one.

It's easy to glance over this and be grateful it exists. But when you see the new one: 

You can immediately tell that it is simply more active and appears like a typical stick figure in its shapes. It gives life to the previous, important, static image. Certain companies have adopted this image to support the disabled community, such as TJMaxx and Marshalls. Other cities have permitted entire parking spots to be repainted by volunteers. This will hopefully be the image associated with people with disabilities instead of the static wheelchair-dominated old image.

In continuation with this important movement, the name behind the sign is changing as well. From "handicapped" to "accessible." To creating a more accessible environment and world for all people despite any differences that people have. This is one step towards proving that diversity in humans is desired and should be encouraged and not stifled. People with disabilities are only "handicapped" because their environment can be unfriendly to what they need. For example, today, able-bodied people can be "handicapped" in America if they have no car and live out in the suburbs or further. Video games even include the word "handicap" to provide support for a weak video game player, for example. This word can be used in more contexts than people with disabilities, as it should be, as accessibility should be considered for all people as well, regardless of ability or disability.

Ultimately, this new sign, to me, proves that we are trying to create a more welcoming world for all people despite any differences. That it embraces diversity. Accessibility embraces diversity and bridges the gap. Let me know what you think!
