I thought this was a useful resource for home accessibility, but it mostly focused on mobility impairments and visual impairments. There were few recommendations about home accessibility for other types of disabilities, such as cognitive or hearing impairments.

This is a thorough resource for homeowners to evaluate and begin to ensure accessibility of their home. However, the emphasis of mobility impairments was overwhelming in comparison to sensory impairments and other health or environmental sensitivities which are of equal importance for accessibility, especially considering that they are often more difficult to identify. Additionally, as this is an evaluation for a variety of users the standards may be too general for individual concerns leaving evaluators to utilize their own judgement regarding the needs for specific modifications.

Tools and Resources

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.
