Good Question. Some will argue 9 steps and others will say 11 steps.
What is more important is the proper documentation of your efforts at/after
each step.
Some do so well at the 1st step... there is no 2nd step, as the
problem/project is resolved.
Well structured companies that insulate
What is so stupid about it all is that---your power chair would not be stuck
there anywayin the case of a fire you would move just as an able body would
move out of the way OR to another part of the room or outside--they act like
the chair would freeze in that actual place. LOL...

I know you don't wish to read this but without the 10-step process, you are
missing the point. If you don't use and document the process by step you
can/may lose your credibility in trying to resolve the project/problem.

I had something rather interesting happen to me the other day. I went out to
dinner with my brother and the usher mistakenly put us in the wrong place. I
was sitting in the aisle, because my wheelchair cannot fit under any table.
It has nothing to do with the ADA, my armrests are simply too high
By the way, I am simply going to write a letter or call as a concerned
citizen. After thinking about it carefully, I really don't think this issue
was about my disability, but I could be mistaken.

Dwarves have some body parts out of proportion to the rest of their body.
Midgets are in proportion. Little people covers both and is preferred.
