The accessibility legislation includes a wide range of accessibility rights designed to help people with various disabilities live as comfortably, respectfully and independently as possible.
The Israel Accessibility Association has produced a guide intended for you, people with disabilities, so that you know your rights and start asking for the accessibility arrangements you deserve.
The guide contains information about accessibility rights in various places, including accessibility in restaurants and cafes, shops, cultural and cinema halls, swimming pools, hotels, schools and more.
Using the accessibility arrangements will contribute significantly to improving the quality of your life in the various areas of life.
It is important to ask for the accessibility arrangements in a respectful and polite manner.
