See how easy it is to remove barriers and enable independence? #accessibility design consultant Rosemarie Rossetti, Ph.D. shows how a simple door stop propping the door open creates access for all. Of course, using a door stop means that someone from maintenance or facilities management or another building uset has to set it up. For true independence, features should not require things to be set up for success. They should be automatic, sensor-activated, like the automatic doors in supermarkets and big box stores...that have been in use for 50 years. Enabling Design is not radical, we know how to do it. Let's do it! 🌟 #enablebydesign #inclusivedesign #ADA #abilitynotdisability

Yesterday, I posted a short video of me on a scooter trying to open the restroom door at the Seattle Convention Center. Here is a video showing how easy it was to enter the restroom when the door stop was in place. As the accessibility consultant for the Association of American Medical Colleges for their annual meeting, I suggested that door stops be placed at the restroom doors. As restrooms are designed in the future, there is an accessibility advantage to eliminate entry doors. This allows people to quickly enter and exit without the need to open doors. #AAMC #MeetingProfessionals #Accessibility
