[IL-Talk] News Article | Flychicago about an alleged new Accessibility feature at O'Hare Midway

[Michal Nowicki]

This program is clearly designed for people with hidden disabilities, so it
may not be useful to most of us: even though some of the signage options are
blindness-specific. But it may offer significant potential for raising
public awareness of non-obvious conditions, such as heightened sensitivity
to perfume, or limited strength prevented someone from carrying their own
luggage or other heavy items. Time will tell whether it succeeds or fails.

The first article I sent was a positive one about AIRA access at O'Hare in
Midway. This current one, I don't feel so positive about it. It's allegedly
this new feature where you can go in to either O'Hare and Midway and while
you're there, where this bad around your neck that says that you have a
disability. I mean, if you already have your long white cane, why would you
need a second identifier? Just my two pennies worth. Read the article to see
what I mean.
