DESCRIPTION:The silver tsunami is here! Now that the baby boomer generation
  is aging\, we need to consider how this impacts our built environment –
  an overview of design considerations and lighting which can easily be add
 ressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also to have oth
 ers visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging\, 
 whether just slowing down\, or have a more vigorous disability. This semin
 ar addresses more than just the minimum standards of technical accessible 
 design\, but rather good design practices and implementation overall. We w
 ill discuss common areas of concern and issues of aging and our built envi
 ronment thru photographs of both good and more challenging examples of typ
 ical elements.\n\nADA and other accessibility regulations have been around
  for well over 25 years\, yet we still see items of non-compliance even in
  new construction. Is this due to a lack of knowledge\, or incomplete draw
 ings and specifications\, or sloppy construction\, or is it that the topic
  has become so complex that it is difficult to synthesize all of the relev
 ant information? And many of the items are indeed extremely technical yet 
 the solutions need to be incorporated at the early non-technical design st
 ages. This presentation will look at many common items in non-compliance o
 ften found in new construction and alterations. Learn thru a visual synthe
 sis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs of numerous existing ins
 tallations. We will discuss what went wrong\, was missing\, or misundersto
 od\, in order to recognize Access issues to be on the look-out for and how
  to better incorporate pertinent information into construction documents a
 nd specifications.\n\nAn overview of design considerations which can easil

 ypes of disabilities impact our navigation of the built environment\n	\n	\
 n	Recognize those elements in buildings that impact and can be more of a c
 hallenge as we age\n	\n	\n	Learn about different items that can easily be 
 implemented now for aging in place later\n	\n	\n	Distinguish and identify 
 different hazards to avoid in the built environment\n	\n\n
