EHLS Has the Answers!

As frustrating as it may be we must acknowledge that the buildings we live and work in present many obstacles for people with mobility limitations. Traditionally our homes and public places have been designed and built to accommodate individuals who move about on foot, who can manipulate an array of controls, switches, latches and locks with their hands and who can see and hear. Most of our homes have stairways and steps, narrow doorways , problem bathrooms and a host of other design shortcomings large and small that combine to make daily activities difficult for millions of people. The good news is help is available...
