PWD accessibility in SM Marikina
Being independent in all aspects means a lot to a disabled or handicapped person. So apart from being to drive around alone (and making sure car insurance is bought as well), it is good to know that people with disabilities have access also to the malls, which is certainly a big thing in the Philippines.
PWD accessibility in full swing
The accessibility for PWD in this latest SM supermall went into full swing.
Facilities like comfort rooms, wider parking lane, wider elevator, elevated pathways, accessible movie houses, priority lanes were all very accessible with facilities designated to be used only by PWD’s so that they can be well attended by SM employees.
The comfort room is designated and reserved only for PWD. It is always closed and if a PWD needs to use it, there’s a doorbell near the door that will signal a janitor to come and open it.
The cubicles and wash basins have railings to make it easier to use and the comfort room is being kept clean all the times.
Inside the movie houses, there are is a special place for wheelchair user with a ramp within it. It is located near the cinema’s entrance so as not to make the wheelchair user go far. The walkway leading to the cinema is also wide and has ramps.
In the ticket booth, there’s a special priority lane for PWD.
The parking area of the mall has reserved area for PWD’s. It has plastic barricades to ensure that the area is reserved only for PWD’s.
Ramps can also be found in the parking and around the mall.
The elevators of the mall are also wide and can hold 2 wheelchair users. And of course, priority will be given to PWD in using the elevators.
