What are your thoughts about the new handicapped symbol?
Open Discussion
Wanda brings up a good point: there is a need to make changes in accessibility and awareness on a broader scale, moreso than to second-guess ourselves over a particular symbol or word choice. That being said, I don't feel we would lose clarity by substituting the "in motion" symbol. It is well designed and easily recognizable. A symbol like that one needs to convey its message in a split second. And continued use of the word "handicapped" in public places leads people outside our field to think this is still an accepted term.
