I feel like this is very important and needed because no matter what, everyone, including people with disabilities need to have access at a grocery store.

This resource has a lot of information but it is laid out in a very understandable way. The pictures of current issues in grocery check stand show what the problem is that needs to be addressed. Then it gives a reminder of the principles of UD as well as ADA and OSHA guidelines, followed by solutions with picture examples.

"Advancing employment opportunities and expectations for people with disabilities strengthens not only America's economy, but our moral fiber. It creates a more inclusive America, one where every person is recognized for his or her accomplishments — and that should be our goal not just on Labor Day but every day."

Assistant Secretary Kathy Martinez, Office of Disability Employment Policy, September 7, 2009
