Todays post will be about how to make cafeteria;s more accessible to people with CP. Now I have been in two schools with a cafeteria. My two colleges. My junior college was awesome in accessibility. They even cut up my pancakes for me when I get breakfast on campus. The private college was not so great. One thing they could have done better was the pizza. At my junior college pizza is in a box which makes it really easy to grab and get in line. The private college had pizza on a platter which you have to serve yourself. This is very hard for me because my hands are not that strong, I have to ask people to help me, happily they have been willing to help me.
Ordering food is also a challenge for me. Although I have improved my speech quite a bit, I can be hard to understand at times. One way I can get around this is by writing it down on the notes section on my I Phone or trying to repeat it using my best articulation. When I am on break at work I usually grab a personal pizza or an pre made sandwich to save time.
