Highly Recommend Kitchen Design for Access & Aging
“I highly recommend this presentation to designers, builders, and code enforcement professionals. Janis covers a broad range of accessibility and usability issues that affect kitchen design and construction. Most helpful are summaries of practical insights and the many illustrations and photographs included in this discussion of requirements applicable to kitchens in residential dwelling units with mobility features under the 2010 ADAS and 2019 CBC.”

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Access at 2025 National ADA Symposium
1:30 - 3:00
Organizer: National ADA Symposium
Venue: Hilton Atlanta 255 Courtland Street, NE Atlanta, GA 30303
DESCRIPTION
As Electric Vehicles become more prevalent, the question arises of what to do for Access and even whether or not they are required to be accessible. Although not specifically mentioned in the ADA Standards, the prevailing requirement in the implementing regulations requires a measure of access for all. So if an element is available to the able-bodied population, then it should also be available for those with a disability. Since there are no ADA scoping and technical requirements what do you do? California has developed new requirements implemented January 1, 2017 which is what we will look at.
SUMMARY
As Electric Vehicles become more prevalent, the question comes up of what to do to make them accessible and even whether or not they are required to be accessible – we will review the new California requirements
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
