In Collaboration with Gene Boecker, CCI Join PEAC and Gene Boecker from Code Consultants, Incorporated (CCI) for a dynamic two-session series dedicated to advancing access and inclusion for people who are blind or have low vision in the built environment. This program is designed for anyone interested in learning how to advocate for or create more accessible spaces. Explore the rich history and evolving landscape of accessibility, examining the key organizations at the forefront of change and the development of standards and regulations that shape inclusive design today. Special emphasis will be placed on the unique needs and rights of individuals who are blind or low vision, with practical applications that architects, engineers, facility managers, and other stakeholders use. Learning Objectives: – Understand the historical context of accessibility in the build environment and the pivotal role of advocacy organizations. – Identify major standards and regulations (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and relevant building codes) that impact access for people who are blind or low vision. – Explore best practices for designing, constructing, and maintaining environments that promote independence and inclusion. – Engage with an expert, ask questions, and apply learnings to real-world scenarios.
