Yeji District, Lu ‘an City: Let Life Have "Love" without "Obstruction"

    Since the beginning of this year, the Disabled Persons’ Federation in Yeji District of Lu ‘an City has regarded the barrier-free renovation of families with disabled people in difficulty as an important livelihood fact. Up to now, the barrier-free renovation of 81 families with disabled people has been completed.

    Yeji District Disabled Persons’ Federation set up a special class to carry out field visits for barrier-free renovation, and joined the township street disabled persons’ Federation to go deep into six streets to carry out the field work of barrier-free renovation for disabled families. Through on-the-spot investigation, discussion and exchange, etc., we visited more than 100 disabled people, sorted out opinions and suggestions, and summarized five kinds of problems that need to be solved urgently, namely, "five difficulties" (difficulty in moving, cooking, going to the toilet, bathing and traveling), and sorted out the most urgent willingness of disabled people in the area in terms of construction renovation, barrier-free facilities and living environment renovation.

    According to the previous work and the feedback needs of the families of the disabled in Yeji District, the design and transformation of "five reforms" (door reform, slope reform, kitchen reform, toilet reform and water and electricity reform) will be carried out on a case-by-case basis, so as to accurately solve the "five difficulties" that the disabled need help most in family life. Focusing on the practical problems of "five difficulties", extensive research and thorough investigation have been made, and four categories and seven optional lists of barrier-free renovation contents have been scientifically determined.

    The District Disabled Persons’ Federation strengthened cooperation with the civil affairs departments, organized special seminars, integrated resources, and formed a joint force to jointly promote the smooth implementation of the family reform work. In the process of project implementation, strengthen communication with disabled families on construction details, fully mobilize the disabled families to supervise the barrier-free renovation work, realize the joint construction of the construction party and the disabled families, and truly benefit the disabled. The Disabled Persons’ Federation of Yeji District strengthens the supervision of the whole process. During the renovation process, it pays a return visit to the disabled families by telephone or on-the-spot inspection from time to time to understand the residents’ satisfaction with the barrier-free renovation effect. At the same time, according to the specific opinions of the disabled families, it puts forward improvement requirements to the construction party in time until the people are satisfied. (He Weiwei)
