Just as it was witnessed by public protest at the Manuel Benavides and Castella Schools, the factual action offered by the governmental institutions to aid in the integration of the challenged and handicapped in Costa Rica still has a long way to go, and this doesn’t simply strike the area of public services but also and more gravely: their possibility to make a decent living.
A recent study has shown how IN REALITY, the chances the aforementioned citizens have to score a job and gain the honorable means to make decent living are utterly scarce, if only accidental and charitable in public measure.
Still many bus companies refuse to implement the addition of wheelchair support and construction works –especially of the small commercial impact zone- continue to neglect the laws that force for the inclusion of special access lanes to their entry gates. The phenomena well covers the entirety of our country in a similar fashion and the event of actually finding the requirements properly applied particularly in public sites makes for permanent remembrance and admiration.
The problem can easily be justified by the little attention paid by the responsible agencies to mandate and survey the provisioning of the lawful decree; as well as in the general public disregard for the same measures. Where tourism demands ever more strongly for our infrastructure to comply with the demands of a varied list of backgrounds and circumstances it seems laughable such healthy and necessary arrangements remain unattended.
