HONORING A LEGACY WHILE LEARNING FROM JAPAN

MARK BOOKMAN AND THE 34TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADA

I am honored to appear in the film “Mark – A Call To Action” as a Universal Design expert, focused on creating a better built environment for people with disabilities.

Japan has made some monumental strides toward inclusion, but like every place, still has much (far too many shops and restaurants – even in brand new spaces – require steps to enter) left to accomplish.

In the U.S., we celebrated the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26th.

It was very interesting to see how a nation that does not have underlying legislation as strong as the ADA commits so strongly to accessible public transit and inclusive public restrooms.
