I’m João.

A simple João Carlos like many other Joãos and Carlos who, because of some tragic misshapen, had their movements ill conditioned.

Since I’ve spent half of my life on a wheelchair I believe I have enough experience to speak about accessibility and primarily the lack of it.

For I know, unlike the so-called “normal people”, what it’s like to climb up a staircase standing on my feet and what it’s like to be physically unable to do it.

It’s in those moments that we feel how valuable a ramp is.

And this usually goes unnoticed by those who are fortunate to possess their mental and physical faculties intact.

These, along some other reasons, made me build this site.

Nowadays accessibility is more comprising than just a mere ramp. Further on I’ll speak about that.

Obviously I thought it would be important to write about this subject and call the attention to my experience in order to try and prevent that other in the future don’t have to go through the same I had to – the lack of accessibility.
