Description

Despite its oft-cited priority, a review of the disability movement and accessibility laws and policies reveals that true community inclusion for every individual with a disability is a goal yet to be achieved. This session will examine the major contributing factors and discuss the importance of person-environment interactions, suggesting the need to change community attitudes through reciprocal information sharing and interdisciplinary education of design and built environment professionals.
