It’s a loss for communities, too, who miss out on the contributions of people like Joel and Aiden when a lack of accessible restrooms keeps them at home.

“Having more universal changing tables across Ohio means freedom to myself and my son and my family. It means freedom to go into our communities and experience life just like everyone else,” Kirkwood siad.
