Universal Design Innovation Secrets
Catherine Deutschlander, CKBD, CID, CAPS, MN-AS, CW Design
TRACK: DESIGN
When you think about universal design, what images come to mind?
Perhaps fond memories of your grandparents or snapshots of your
parents. Can you picture yourself navigating a narrow hallway with a
laundry basket, or your child trying to reach the microwave placed above
the stove? These scenes and situations embody universal design, which
permeates our living spaces. Universal design integrates the principles
and guidelines of the ADA from commercial spaces into our homes,
promoting the everyday health, safety, and well-being we all need.
Drawing on 25 years of experience, her role as a mother to two autistic
children, and her position in the sandwich generation (caring for aging
parents while raising school-aged children), Catherine Deutschlander
MN-AS, CKBD, CAPS, CID, will present practical, proven examples to
design a safe home environment for everyone.

effective collaboration with contractors and designing within realistic budgets.
