Course Description
This intermediate level webinar will provide the participant with knowledge of interventions specific to inclusive kitchen modifications. The presentation will be filled with visual imagery to give examples of inclusive kitchen design as it conforms to a varied spectrum of users. Multiple case studies will be utilized to demonstrate the application of interventions. This webinar includes a review of critical kitchen measurements as they relate to the determination of client-centered design recommendations and product solutions.
Course audience includes occupational therapists, physical therapists, builders, remodelers, architects, interior designers, housing professionals, case managers, healthcare professionals, realtors and others interested in inclusive design.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
• Identify various kitchen modification interventions that meet the needs of a varied spectrum of users.
• Differentiate between accessible versus inclusive kitchen design interventions and product solutions.
• Through case studies, will formulate and apply a rationale for selecting kitchen modification interventions to ensure that current and future needs of the client, caregivers and other household members needs are met.

(Re)Building Downtown
Smart Growth America’s recent article in (Re)Building Downtown areas certainly hits upon many concepts that I am a proponent of–creating walkable spaces, promoting employment, maximizing social and civic engagement, multi-modal transportation and diverse housing options. They provide a brief outline in the article with link to the GuideBook for Revitalization (link to article and subsequent guidebook below).
Upon perusing the guidebook I cannot help but notice that there is a lack of any language regarding the design of these spaces specific to meeting the needs of a wide spectrum of users. Keywords such as Universal Design, Inclusive Design, Aging, and Aging in Place, are all missing. Equity is discussed, but from a socioeconomic standpoint, but misses the mark on meeting the needs of users regardless of age or ability level.
How are we to effectively (Re)Build Downtown if we are not taking into consideration all of the users?
Penny for your thoughts….
