This 3-hour interactive online course consists of one of the most in-depth studies of the built environment as related to 'The Americans with Disabilities Act'. This course uses multidiciplinary research: architecture, medicine, physics, engineering, ergonomics, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and others, to discuss the impact of the built environment elements on the human body, especially on the physically disabled, the elderly, and the pregnant. This course includes many charts and graphics to inform and guide design professionals into a new understanding of the ADA Accessibility Standards and to open their minds to the creation of a better barrier-free design.
