The Accessible Home - Designing for All Ages and Abilities

A guide that goes beyond ramps and grab-bars to help aging boomers, or those faced with disabilities, accomplish home accessibility on a deeper level. With a focus on closing the gap between home and homeowner, Pierce leads readers through the steps of universal design.
