It distinguishes between stereotypes, behavioral attitudes, and service-related barriers, proposing a classification based on the pre-emptive limitation of opportunities, the homogenization of needs, and the exclusion of independence. The appropriateness of assistance is evaluated based on the passenger's consent, safety, and freedom of decision-making.
