THE ADA TURNED 30, BUT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS STILL FAR FROM INCLUSIVE (PART 6)

While many cities have shown efforts to implement accessible design since the 1990 adoption of the American Disabilities Act, more must be done

When planning for accessible entrances, hallway, bathrooms, offices, work spaces, break rooms, exercise rooms and more – is done at the 11^th hour – nothing good comes of it.

That is why I am calling on all professional organizations that impact the built environment to celebrate the ADA. 

Millions of their cumulative members can be inspired to build beautiful, graceful, human-scaled design that will make life more equitable for people who have mobility, sight, hearing and intellectual disabilities
