The 2 proposals that Daniel Robles, an activist with a disability, made in the morning
Basically, Daniel Robles’ proposals were: put bathrooms with changing tables that serve people with disabilities, children and older adults.
And the other: to help promote inclusive education with the incorporation of alternative communication systems in the next free textbooks of the SEP.
Regarding the first proposal, Daniel Robles explained that it is already a fact in Zapopan. And now, his goal is for other cities and states to include changing tables in their bathrooms.
All by changing the Regulation of Accessibility Recommendations for Public Spaces to add universal size changing tables in bathrooms. A matter of urban accessibility, empathy and will, emphasized Daniel Robles.
On textbooks, the activist and contributing columnist for Me too explained to AMLO that the idea is to design boards that are like a catalog of images in which each pictogram is a word or a concept—and include them in the next free textbooks.
This allows, for example, boys and girls with the autism spectrum to communicate, helping them to express their ideas.
The answer
For now, AMLO responded with this: that the Secretary of Education respond to the request and, in turn, answer what’s up with Daniel Robles’ initiative.
What about changing tables in the bathrooms of public buildings and facilities? According to AMLO, this can start in CDMX. The plan is for Claudia Sheinbaum to get in touch with Daniel Robles and they start working on the proposal.
In addition to the fact that upcoming participations of the activist in the morning are pending, with the aim of further opening the conversation about inclusion in that space.
correct use of words
Regarding the participation of Daniel Robles, he and his family reminded us of the importance of the correct use of words and concepts.
That is, referring to people with disabilities just as they are, as people with disabilities —not disabled. And that is how the Robles family asked AMLO to help them spread the correct term. “that passes from disabled to people with disabilities”.
