I teach Maths, Bible and PE at a school here in Taipei. When planning a field trip for a few of my students I had to consider one of them that is in a wheelchair. Admittedly, Taipei has come a long way over the last few years. Please would Local Guides and anyone else add their comments, recommendations on anything relevant to this topic. Here is a link Accessibility guidelines form Google to what you can look out for.
Let's improve the standard for all!

Here in Taipei, Taiwan. There has been quite a bit of progress in wheelchair accessibility, but needless to say, more can be done. I was planning a field trip for some of my students, one of whom is in a wheelchair. I soon discovered that my planning had to be a lot more detailed, I had to scout out the places (in realtime) in advance just to make sure that there was accessibility. Could you imagine just how useful Google Maps, Google Earth, Google ...... etc, would be if we could have a dedicated Accessibility site with Photos/videos etc for parents wanting to plan a trip for there child or just general planning by friends.

Many parks have wheelchair accessible parking. Some parks are very wheelchair friendly.
