School accessibility audit flipped my thinking after 2 tours

I used to think curb cuts and ramps were enough. Then I shadowed a student in a power chair through our local middle school, and we hit three doors with no push buttons and a science lab with counters 6 inches too high. Watching them have to ask for help at every single station made me realize access is about the whole path, not just the entrance. That tour took 45 minutes but changed how I review every building now. Has anyone else had a specific moment where a real visit shifted your advocacy priorities?

The sink height thing got me too. Once you see someone blocked from basic stuff like washing their hands, you can't unsee it.
