Welcome | Cazbarr | Disability Blogger talks about life with a disability!

Hey there, I’m Cazbarr. I was born with a rare disability called Arthrogryposis. My disability has not prevented me from doing the things I love. In fact, it has done the complete opposite, it’s made me passionate about my life, the things I have achieved and aim to achieve. This passion inspired me to create my website Cazbarr, where I talk about my disability, how it affects me on a daily basis and all the trials and tribulations that go along with living with a disability.

My blogs are mostly about my daily trials and tribulations with a few consumer product & service reviews thrown in. Oh, you may find a couple of holiday reviews too. Can’t wait for when we can all start to travel again safely!

When I’m not blogging, I volunteer for Disability Horizons as their Partnership Manager. I also volunteer for another charity called Ruils. I am also the chairperson and organiser of my wheelchair service user group at Queen Mary’s hospital, Roehampton. (If you are a patient of the wheelchair service and you would like to be a part of our user group, helping us shape the service, please do get in touch).

I Visit Wales To Meet My First Grandchild! How Accessible Was My Visit?

It was a foregone conclusion we were going to make a visit to Wales to meet our first Grandchild.

We stayed for three nights at a Premier Inn and managed to do a couple of sightseeing trips.

I’ll tell you all about my trip, where we went and how accessible I found things coming out of lockdown.

Accessible Family Rooms, Do They Exist?

As a full-time wheelchair user, I need an accessible room when staying in hotels. I also have a family but I can never find accessible rooms that are equipped for families.

Because there are three of us, not all of us can stay in an accessible room as I have found they only sleep 2 people, therefore, we have to book an extra room for our daughter which then doubles the price of our stay.

I am contacting 10 big hotel chains to see if they do offer family accessible rooms and if not, do they offer a discount on any extra rooms needed?

WAV's- Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

I received my WAV in Oct 2020 from Motability. It is fitted with a 6-way electric driver seat so I can transfer from my electric wheelchair. The independence this has given me is beyond measure.

I will explain the process I went through in receiving my vehicle and the application process, along with all the features/modifications made to my van.

North Wales - Did I Find It Accessible?

My first Grandchild was born, so it was a foregone conclusion I was going to make a visit. All the way to Wales from London. We stayed for three nights at a Premier Inn and managed to do a couple of sightseeing trips.

I’ll tell you all about my trip, where we went and how accessible I found things coming out of lockdown.

Subtitles - Missing Accessibility Feature

2021 and people with hearing impediments are still not able to watch TV inclusively! If like me, you depend on subtitles, there is nothing more frustrating than hearing about a programme that is being raved about and you can’t watch it due to subtitles not being provided! We pay a TV licence for what? Most of us subscribe to a TV service like Sky, Virgin, Disney etc. but which ones are the most inclusive?

I’m in the middle of my research on this, as I use Sky, Netflix and Amazon’s Video Prime. Once completed, I will discuss which I have found to be the best to supply subtitles and how accurate they are.
