Navigating Accessibility as an Amputee

Accessibility goes far beyond ramps and elevators. For amputees, it’s about safe, functional environments that support daily independence. Challenges include:

• Narrow doorways that don’t accommodate mobility devices

• Inaccessible public transportation

• Poorly designed restrooms

• Stairs with no alternative routes

Creating truly accessible spaces means involving people with lived experience in design and planning. At Less Leg More Heart, we advocate for inclusive environments that work for everyone. It’s not just about meeting codes—it’s about honoring dignity and creating opportunity.
