This is a thoughtful resource that will benefit those concerned with remodeling homes for accessibility. The mediation of material selection that reflects differing concerns for mobility, chemical, health, and environmental sensitivities is especially important. Similarly, the clarification of ADA requirements as extremes rather than the most accessible instances is a valuable contribution for remodeling considerations. Overall, this tool is a useful initial tool for understanding remodeling concerns for a variety of impairments. The direction to additional resources is helpful.

Accessible construction and remodeling is so important - especially as most people would like to be able to age in place. Planning ahead for this is crucial, and increases visibility and accessibility for everyone.

New information and communications technologies can improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, but only if such technologies are designed from the beginning so that everyone can use them. Given the explosive growth in the use of the World Wide Web for publishing, electronic commerce, lifelong learning and the delivery of government services, it is vital that the Web be accessible to everyone.
