UNIVERSAL DESIGN REQUIRES EXPERTISE

ALL ARCHITCTURE PROJECTS SHOULD HAVE 

ACCESSIBLITY CONSULTANTS

Architect:

"The ADA has been on the books for 3 decades.

It is illegal to build inaccessibly, so I see no need for accessibility consultants."

Me:

"Murder has been outlawed since the beginning of civilization but we have police because people violate the law every few minutes."

The pushback, from architects, against Universal Design and creating spaces that are welcoming to people with disabilities is foolhardy and a detriment to the profession.

For allies of people with disabilities, it is exhausting and depressing.
