MARK BOOKMAN AND THE 34TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADA
It is fascinating that Japan does not have underlying legislation as strong as the ADA, but it has better access to essential public transit.
The lesson
is that the ADA is a strong foundation, but true inclusion is only realized
through a commitment to universal design.
We celebrated
the ADA anniversary in July, but must realize we all have a responsibility to
create a world where the built environment is accessible to people with
disabilities.
This
commitment, which pays huge dividends for society as a whole, is especially
imperative on architects, planners, mobility engineers, builders, employers and
government.
Let's make
the world accessible to everyone.
To watch the trailer and learn more about GLIDE Fund -- a nonprofit in Mark
Bookman’s honor “established to provide financial assistance to disabled
students interested in education exchange experiences to foster an inclusive
society in which anyone can lead an independent and self-determined life.” –
