How do I design a home that can be accessed by a wheelchair or other mobility device? How steep should a ramp be and does it need handrails? What type of door and threshold are required? How do I move between different levels? Whether you are planning a new accessible residence or retrofitting your existing home, you will learn ways to provide an accessible entrance, access all spaces and safely traverse between different floor levels. An architect from Paralyzed Veterans of America will present issues to consider and solutions from several chapters of PVA’s book, Accessible Home Design: Architectural Solutions for the Wheelchair User.
