Accessibility/Access Needs

From Skin, Tooth, and Bone, second edition: “Access needs are those things that are needed in order for someone to fully participate in a space or activity, which can include wheelchair access, scent-free space, ASL interpretation, etc. In a disability justice context, access needs are seen as universal- every bodymind has needs, not just disabled people.”
