Huntington Beach Unveils New Mat for Disabled Beachgoers
The City of Huntington Beach rolled out a new tool May 5 that gives disabled beachgoers an opportunity to get closer to the ocean.
Known as a “Mobi-Mat”, the 150-foot pathway lies on top of sand, extending from the sidewalk to the shore. There is an extended area toward the end of the mat, which allows about five people in wheelchairs to be in or near the water. It is located near the city’s pier off 6th Street.
Huntington Beach Councilmember Natalie Moser spearheaded the project, when six months ago she began talking to the family of a 14-year-old boy Kumaka Jenson, who was born with a spinal cord condition called spina bifida.

So perhaps it s because so many of us without disabilities haven t considered the needs of those who have them that it took so long for a mainstream drugstore brand to finally design something long overdue: a deodorant made to be accessible for those with a visual impairment and upper-limb disabilities.
Unilever has partnered with a team of design experts, occupational therapists, engineers, consultants, and people living with disabilities to create
