Advocacy breaks down accessibility barriers to school

Success Stories: Advocacy breaks down accessibility barriers to school

Miraclens Ducrepin is a 5-year-old boy with physical disabilities due to his Cerebral Palsy. He needed a specialized wheelchair to be able to ride the bus to school each day. Miraclens’ biggest advocate, his mom, speaks Haitain Creole, and experienced language barriers that impacted her ability to advocate for his needs and chair. Disability Rights Florida facilitated communication between providers and the family to expedite processing and delivery of the chair. We utilized a third-party translation company to effectively communicate with Miraclens’ mother to provide necessary updates and information. We are happy to report that Miraclens has gotten his chair and is back on the bus to school with his classmates. Disability Rights Florida is committed to breaking down all access barriers for people, including language barriers, to provide the rightful access to folks.
