use crutches. The public places in any city are not made for comfort for people with disabilities.
There are no ramps and have narrow place for them to move(Camm-Crosbie and et. al., 2019).
There are so many children with disabilities that may face issue on availability of special
schools, trained teachers and study material. They may face health care issue that may occur due
to unavailability of trained heath worker and facilities. Physically disabled people require
wheelchair, walking aids, communication aid, artificial limb, hearing and vision aids. People use
these instrument daily but they face many challenges to carry them. People with disabilities can't
use public transport because it is not accessible and enough for their travel. That may lead to
person being late for their work and children being late for their schools. They can't use
wheelchair on road because they face difficulty in travelling. In city roads are not maintained and
municipal workers not clean them properly. They need any one person for on and off-boarding of
passengers with disabilities. They use personal vehicle for travelling and also pay extra while
travelling by taxi(Brodaty and Donkin, 2022).
