For me to get the simrple changes I must have in my "accessible" apartment, I must write a letter "proving" the changes are necessary.  I have been asking for almost a year.

Currently the scitches are on the wall behind a regular counter top.

Any words will be taken in to consideration.

**********************************************
Letter for Reasonable Accommodation

    I am confined to a wheelchair.  While I have a Provider for 29 hours a week, she is not here at night or on weekends.  During that time period, I must be able to use the kitchen.  Currently I cannot reach the switches that turn on the light above the sink, garbage disposal, light above stove or fan above the range.

    I either don’t turn those things on or try to use a long handled wooden spoon.  Most times it still does not reach the switches.  If these switches were moved to a location under the sink, they could be easily be used by anyone.
