The Handicapped
Handicapped people (often referred to as “the physically challenged”) come from all backgrounds. America has made great progress in dealing with the needs of handicapped people over the past twenty years or so. Handicapped people have their own convenient parking spaces, special ramps in public buildings, kneeling busses and other conveniences to make their difficult lives a little easier and fuller. Newer buildings have signs and elevator buttons in braille for blind people, or even talking elevators. These facilities are becoming more widespread, and many of them are mandated by law.
