Accessible Living
This is a place where we can post pictures and explanations about what makes our homes and our lives accessible or not accessible. We can talk about Universal Design or about the simple gadgets that help you day to day. By sharing what works for us, we are providing our peers with possible solutions to their problems. Likewise, by sharing an issue, we can benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of our peers in the disability community. MacGyver’s abilities pale in comparison to the problem solving prowess of those living in a barrier filled, ableist world. Let's put our expertise on display!
Please Note: we may include our names on these pages, everyone else will be identified as “Contributor” or “Peer” unless express permission has been given. If you have any comments or feedback on anything posted, please contact us.
