INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the third edition of
ACCESSMiami, created to provide accessibility information for people with disabilities. I would like to acknowledge all those who contributed to the continued success of this guide.
Special thanks to the
Jay Weiss Center for Social Medicine and Health Equity at
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for sponsoring the third edition. All future editions will be under the Center’s auspices.
Much appreciation to the Health Foundation of South Florida for providing a grant to conduct focus groups made up of Miami residents with various disabilities; to the
Center for Independent Living for providing the space for the focus groups; and to
Dade Community Foundation for providing a grant to cover the printing and graphic design. The Foundation’s Miami Fellows Initiative provided funding for the first edition.
Also, my sincere gratitude to all those who volunteered to reconfirm and update the listings.
I hope this information is useful, and I welcome all suggestions and/or comments.
