This is a free, printable checklist to assess the accessibility of a home. It is very thorough, but is written in a general format for all. Some of these standard practices may not be the most efficient for each individual person. I think that this list is a great starting point, but those evaluating the house must also use their clinical judgment and knowledge of the patient to recommend home modifications.

Good resource for a quick and easy way to check the accessibility of any home. This is not an all encompassing assessment, but is a good start to finding new changes that should be made to make a home more accessible for everyone.

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
