Has the public park failed to make a reasonable accommodation for Frieda?
Frieda, an individual with muscular dystrophy who had difficulty walking, used a Segway (a powered two-wheeled device that moves both forward and backward with the rider standing on top of a platform controlling the movements via leaning forward or backward on the device). Frieda purchased tickets for herself and her daughter to go to a local amusement park for her daughter's 10th birthday, but was notified at entrance that she was not permitted to have the Segway in the park. The park explained that it was its policy not to allow the device due to its ability to accelerate quickly and potentially injure other patrons, but that she was free to use a wheelchair or four-wheeled motorized scooter. Freida informed the park that she had difficultly rising from a seated position and the use of a wheelchair or a motorized scooter in which she sat would prevent her from assisting her daughter during their visit. Has the public park failed to make a reasonable accommodation for Frieda?
