Testimonials

“Janis is our go-to person whenever issues requiring interpretation of CBC/ADA arise. She is knowledgable, thorough and being an architect herself helps her better understand the challenges we face implementing the ever more detailed accessibility requirements.”

— Ron Bernhardt   AIA Retail Design Collaborative

“I’ve found that the seminars and webinars that Stepping Thru Accessibility offers are the most comprehensive and of the highest quality available. I have always gained very useful and practical information on a wide range of accessibility topics with Janis’s seminars/webinars; highly recommended for anyone with an interest in accessibility.”

— Matthew O’Brien   Architect, CASp

“I have always enjoyed and been highly interested in your publications and seminars over the years. Your publications are required reading by all my staff and are a given contribution to the success of our designs.”

— Craig R. Smith   AIA, CRSA Architecture

“Wanted to thank you for a thorough and comprehensive seminar this past Friday. Of all the 5 hour seminars I have suffered through, yours was clearly in a class by itself with zero suffering involved. I do plan to recommend this seminar to my colleagues up this way to put on their radar.”

— Craig Gaevert   AIA, CSI - Architect

“Thank you. I sat in during the seminar and it was fantastic. The sound was clear and you re-asked the questions so the webinar folks understood. The back and forth with the audience was lively but to the point. I just wanted to send a note and thank you again – your draw is huge, expertise on point, and I can’t thank you enough.”

— Eric Sifuentes   CASp, Nacht & Lewis

As an architect and wheelchair rider, I’ve read your blogs over the years, and from that and your book which our office just got, I can see that you really “get it” when it comes to accessibility. Not only are your assessments technically complete, but your tips and suggestions are practical and insightful. Keep up the good work.

“Your book, in my opinion, is the authority as a reference resource. I read, re-read and referred back to it many times. It is filled with highlights, underlines and notes… I downloaded your e-books and purchased the Multi-Family Reference Matrices. I just love reading all of your materials, very informative.”
