Safe
Universal design is safe.
It not only provides environments and
tools for the presently disabled, but
actually anticipates and preventsdisabilities
such as repetitive strain injuries, backproblems, and those caused byaccidents.

Through teaching the concepts of Universal Design
and the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) codes it became clear to this
Interior Design educator that the collaboration of aconsultant with disabilities was crucial. In the late
1990s Sandra Sundermeier, who has multiple
sclerosis (MS), volunteered to participate as a
consultant to students in the Interior Design program
at Bowling Green State University.

Individual residential homes and two nursinghomes for adults with Mental Retardation and

Sandra is dedicated to making students and public aware
of the many and varied accessibility issues related to
decreased mobility. She has taught the students and
myself invaluable lessons about the need for UniversalDesign in both the interior and exterior built environment.
In our presentation we will discuss this ongoing
collaboration and show you some of the students design
work.

The Maze
Retail Stores
Just because I cant walk doesnt mean that I cant
think When Im shopping, dont ignore me, you never
know how much money I have!
Dont put racks of clothing so close together
that I cant get through--I feel like a mouse in a
maze and I cant find my way out.
8/8/2019 Null Teaford Potthoff Optimized

Retail Stores
Put wheelchairs/electric scooters/walkers near
entrances so that I dont have to walk to the middle of
the mall to borrow a scooter.
How are disabled individuals supposed to get to thedesignated area to borrow the assistance aids? Their
helpers can get them? What if they are elderly? Are
the helpers supposed to leave the disabled individual
alone while they secure the walker?
Designers should put themselves in the seat or
shoes of the disabled community before making
decisions that affect them.

When you put in handicapped parking spaces, pleaseput them close to the buildings entrance, not just wherethey will look nice.
Remember that some people have a hard timegetting around, but are not to the point of using a
wheelchair. If youre having trouble walking, then youprobably cant do steps, and dont need the extraexercise.
Put curb cuts in convenient places, dont make us godown to the end of the building to get into the door.
When you see me coming, hold open the door for me,dont wait until you see me struggle with the door forseveral minutes before you offer to help.
Better yet, put in automatic door openers so that Ican maintain my independence.
Its a Long Way from Here!

In handicap restrooms, please makesure that they are equipped so that
most physically challenged individualscan use them - as independently aspossible!
Leave the handicapped stalls for thosewho need them.

Educating Allied Health and Interior Design
Students About Universal Design

Students in the allied health field often encounter some
information about home modifications as part of their study of
rehabilitation, but their view is limited to providing equipment or
adding grab bars or handrails to the home. They may have heard
about Universal Design, but have not considered how it could help
able-bodied children and adults. Likewise, interior design students
have been introduced to Universal Design and how it can be
incorporated into housing in an attractive way. But they know little
about the physical limitations of both children and older adults that
make working and living in todays housing environments so
difficult. An interdisciplinary class taught by faculty in interior
design and occupational therapy has brought these two studentgroups together to learn from each other.

The presentation will address class
readings and assignments as well as
field trips and community workshops
that have enhanced their experiences.Course evaluations will highlight what
they have learned together about
Universal Design and how they have
been able to apply that knowledge toreal-life home assessments for
families living in the community.

Introduction
Students in physical and occupational
therapy study about home modifications
when addressing rehabilitation of patients
who are planning to return home afterhospitalization
Likewise, students in interior design are
exposed to Universal Design in their
classes
8/8/2019 Null Teaford Potthoff Optimized
66/73
Problem
Both groups of students have limited viewof what Universal Design can actually do
Students in allied health view it as help forelderly and disabled
Students in interior design likewise view itas part of Americans with Disabilities Actimplementation
Neither sees it as part of lifespandevelopment

Interdisciplinary Class
Case studies on kitchen andbathroom
Field trips to see actual examples Conduct community workshops
Students also conduct home
assessments and report back theirfindings to homeowners

Class Field Trips
We visited a local home that had beenrenovated last summer to allow a
resident to return home from a nursinghome
Second field trip was to see UniversalDesign exhibit at Farm Science Review;
which includes educational exhibit and abathroom and kitchen

Workshops
The students are trained to work in
interdisciplinary teams to conduct
community workshops on universal design
This gives them a chance to plan and
implement a workshop along with faculty
Workshops are offered at churches, senior
centers, retail outlets, and at Ohio StatesFarm Science Review center.

Home Assessments
Students teams representing each
discipline conduct two home assessments
Prior to visit, gather information fromhomeowner about any problems
Complete evaluation form and analyze
the home
Prepare report with suggested changes,products, and costs

Conclusions
Students gain a betterunderstanding of Universal Designthrough these hands-on activities
They also have a betterunderstanding of another disciplineand how they can work together to
provide improved services to thepublic
