“…Transitar pelos edifícios, corredores, consultórios e salas de exames é uma barreira importante a ser transposta pelas pessoas com deficiência (Abodey et al, 2020;Angus et al, 2012;Barr et al, 2008;de Vries McClintock et al, 2016;Ganle et al, 2016;Kilic et al, 2019;Mitra et al, 2016;Read et al, 2018;Sakellariou & Rotarou, 2019;Tarasoff, 2017;Saleeby & Hunter-Jones, 2016).

Os relatos fazem menção às portas pesadas, giratórias, não automáticas, estreitas, que abrem para dentro e que, em algumas ocasiões, estão trancadas ou com os botões de acesso em nível inalcançável, sem que haja uma pessoa para auxiliar.…”
