Life of disabled people in Finland

Another rather interesting task from school – to show everyday life of disabled people in Finland – obstacles which they could face outside their homes in the city.
At first glance this task seemed very easy, but in fact it turned out to be hard. In comparassion with my homecountry – Russia, here in Finland a lot more things are done to do their life easier – access ramps are built practically everywhere, special parking lots, public transport is equipped with ramps too. It seems so strange and unusual for the person who had lived nearly the whole life in the country in which the disabled could not leave their homes without some help. So, I just didn’t know what to shoot and in the end I decided to show just an ordinary life of disabled people and some contrivances designed to aid them.
