Dates & Locations
Over the past 5 years there has been an enormous expansion of products and resources for patient accessibility,
assessment tools, and home modification options. With the expansion of accessibility products there are a greater
number of individuals remaining in their homes, as they “age in place” or desire to remain at home with a disability.
The growing fields of home modifications and “safe patient handling” are increasingly a more pertinent discipline
and resource that distinguish physical and occupational therapists from other healthcare professionals. Therapists’
knowledge base of the medical perspective, functional perspective, and of ADLs and mobility requirements uniquely
qualify them as the experts for effective and intelligent accessible modifications for the home and community.
This workshop will provide essential knowledge and tools for accessibility evaluations and solutions. Participants will
receive practical strategies for home modification essentials including assessment, task analysis, product knowledge,
funding resources, and special considerations for design and selection of ramps, lifts, and grab bars. These
approaches will be presented and practiced so that participants may help individuals of varied functional levels (from
high functioning to dependent). Healthcare professionals and accessibility consultants will return to work with cost
effective, aesthetic, and tested solutions for environmental modifications.
