Our Approach

By the 1970s, a broader view of how humans function started taking hold with a focus on  supports and barriers in the environment. The social model of disability argued that a person was unable to reach a second-floor office not because they were in a wheelchair but because the building had no elevator. 

Creating supports and eliminating barriers in the environment is integral to maximizing one's ability to function. No amount of therapy will reverse joint degeneration in someone's shoulders. A lower cabinet height, on the other hand, will eliminate the need of overhead-reaching, supporting one's ability to make dinner with less pain. You are not broken, you just need to modify your environment.
