THE FUTURE IS INCLUSIVE

HERE’S HOW WE GET THERE

Kleo King, United Spinal’s Accessibility Services Senior Vice President, has a team featuring Marsha Mazz, a three-decade veteran of the U.S. Access Board and United Spinal’s Director, Accessibility Codes and Standards. 

She adds three goals that would lead to a more inclusive future:

Improve ADA standards – and state building codes – to provide for better wheelchair maneuvering and positioning. 

Without this, building codes fail millions of people using mobility devices.

Revise the Fair Housing Act’s accessibility requirements. 

Until the 1989 rules are updated, people with disabilities will continue to face significant shortages in affordable, accessible housing.

We will also continue to be forced to make accessibility adaptations at our own expense.
