On earlier trips, I saw no signs of the disabled in China; but now there are changes. With its inlaid stone sidewalks and high thresholds, China is notoriously inaccessible, but now ramps and alternative courses abound many places. Perhaps it's the influence of the Olympics. One sees wheelchairs many places, though not the motorized type which afford people more independence. It's a start.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
