I
broke
my
ankle
and
am
wheelchair
bound
and
need
access
to
my
school
in
the
same
building.
They
have
refused
me
reasonable
access
to
an
existing
elevator
(I
need
access
to
a
conference
room
to
get
from
the
elevator
to
my
school).
I
have
asked
to
be
let
in
only
once
a
day
and
leave
once
a
day.
Their
solution
was
to
schedule
it
so
that
I
can
only
leave
when
the
conference
room
is
empty.
That
meant
on
Wednesday,
when
I
arrived
for
my
afternoon
class
at
13:00,
they
told
I
couldn't
go
to
school
(which
I
actually
have
to
pay
for).
The
next
day,
I
was
told
I
have
to
be
at
the
school
an
hour
early.
Also,
I
had
to
leave
exactly
when
school
ended,
even
though
we
are
given
extra
time
to
catch
up
(which
I
needed,
because
i
missed
school
the
day
before).
If
I
didn't
leave
at
the
specific
time,
I
would
not
be
able
to
leave
until
the
space
was
empty,
which
could
have
been
1
or
2
hours
later.
I
only
asked
for
reasonable
access
-
allow
me
to
arrive
when
my
school
starts,
and
leave
when
I
need
to
leave.
I
would
have
"disrupted"
the
conference
for
30
seconds
only
to
pass
through.
I
would
have
apologized
for
the
inconvenience,
and
made
my
way
through
quickly.
Only
twice
a
day,
taking
maybe
60
second
up
and
down.
Instead,
they
told
me
that
their
clients
pay
his
money
to
not
be
disturbed
for
any
reason,
even
if
it's
to
simply
pass
through
the
conference
room.
I'm
only
TEMPORARILY
disabled,
but
imagine
a
permanently
disabled
student
having
to
deal
with
this
every
day.
In
8
weeks,
I'll
walk
again.
I'm
writing
this
so
that
you
understand
that
they
will
be
put
in
a
bad
situation.
Sweden
is
supposed
to
be
a
place
of
equality
and
accessibility.
This
company
thinks
only
of
their
money
(renters).
I
have
asked
several
people
if
I'm
being
unreasonable
-
I
do
not
wish
to
falsely
accuse
discrimination.
Everyone
said
that
my
asking
to
come
and
go
when
I
need
is
not
unreasonable.
Again,
it
would
take
60
seconds
at
most.
I
even
politely
asked
a
conference
leader
if
it
was
okay
that
I
come
through
in
the
afternoon,
possibly
interrupting
a
presentation,
and
they
said
it
was
of
course
not
an
issue
(no
conference
is
so
important
that
they
can't
allow
a
disabled
person
to
come
through).
Please
consider
this
if
you
are
looking
to
rent
this
space
for
your
conference.
Edit
to
add:
I
ended
up
renting
a
second
wheelchair,
paid
by
the
landlord.
It
was
only
after
I
did
this
that
they
were
willing
to
discuss
helping
me
out
(but
by
then,
I
had
already
solved
it
myself
with
the
second
wheelchair.)
