Mobility
Issues
A large and growing reality...
U.S.
Census figures indicate an estimated 54 million Americans,
or nearly 20% of the population has a disabliity. That
figure is expected to increase as the population ages.
Based
on these statistics, the following chart estimates the
number of disabled people attending conventions or meetings.
This
is a guideline only. Actual figures depend on the profiles
of your delegates.
With
the Americans With Disabilities Act and other disability
rights legislation, convention and meeting planners
alike are becoming more sensitive to the mobility concerns
of their attendees.
