What we can learn from The Question of Access by Tanya Titchkosky, is how the “average” individual under appreciates the ability to use public washrooms. There has been a long history of ableist ideals in our society that reinforces a sense of inferiority to those that don’t fit these standards. By not being able to provide some simple changes to accommodate different disabilities, we as a society fail to encourage these members of our community to feel like they are not defined by their disabilities.  It is in this regard that projects such as WIP become more significant than adding a pole to a washroom. Instead, we are helping to inform the University of any changes that would not affect the lives of the general population, but is significant to the process of empowering those in need.  When you start by addressing easy solutions, you give the individual with disabilities the ability to be more ambitious and fight for more complex needs. We believe that the University of Toronto is a school that encourages their students to be the best they can be and where all students feel comfortable enough to accomplish their goals.
