This article explains how modular stairs and ramps are built to allow easy access in and out of a home for someone with mobility impairments. It discusses how long-tread low-riser steps may be an alternative to a traditional ramp or stairs and that they are relatively easy to build for people with basic carpentry skills so they can be less expensive. It also highlights consumer experiences with modular ramps and steps.

"We must continue to embrace diversity and reject discrimination in all its forms, and insist on equality of opportunity and accessibility for all. Let our efforts remind us that when we work together, we can build a world free of unnecessary barriers and include every member of our international community."

President Barak Obama, International Day of Persons with Disabilities, December 3, 2009
