What would be a good accessibility setup for an event to ensure a person with a feeding tube had comfortable access?
I love you for asking this 💜
- Bathrooms: need hooks that are high enough off the ground to not allow the tube to dangle, while low enough for wheelchair users and shorter people to use. Additionally, shelving with hooks underneath is great for multiple tube sets, oxygen set ups, and mobility aids.
- Outdoors: adequate cooling tents with ice options for people like me running continuous feeds, and unlimited access to free water
- Indoors: disability seating with hooks for medical equipment, or traditional seating with fold down hooks in the seat backs. Private sanitary areas (like nursing rooms) for bag changes and medication administration/disposal.
- General: medical bag checking up front or pre-check availability, pre-seating for disabled/chronically ill event goers, eliminating drink/food minimums
I’m sure this is not 100% extensive because I’ve only had my tube for 6 months today (🥳) so other people who have/had feeding tubes can feel free to add on.
