Dexter still needs nappies, though he uses his toilet/shower seat to go to the toilet most nights. If we were at the shops, we would need to change him in a disabled toilet, but most of these toilets do not have an adult change table. So, Dexter would have to be changed on the floor.
Instead, we change him in the car, or wait until we get home.
**There have been some toilets built with hoists and change tables, and hopefully, this will soon become a regular addition to many public shopping centres and busy venues.
Some people with cerebral palsy may need to access a disabled toilet because their cerebral palsy restricts their movement and they need additional space.
For one day, check out the disabled toilets at your workplace or at the parks and shops.
- Are they locked?
- Are they clean?
- Do they have a change table or a hoist?
- Are they easy to get to?
Tell us what you found.
