Accessible homes and public spaces are crucial for Mainers to maintain healthy, active, and engaged lives. Thoughtful, inclusive design benefits not only people with disabilities but also creates better spaces for older community members, families, visitors, and entire communities.
This interactive workshop brings together housing developers, architects, municipal planners, and individuals with lived experience to identify barriers to accessibility and explore opportunities for making our homes and public spaces more accessible.
Join us for an engaging session that challenges assumptions, showcases innovative solutions, and offers practical strategies to transform intimate living spaces and bustling public environments that welcome all.
