Enabling home environments: identifying barriers to independence

Technology and Disability

Author: Steinfeld, E., Shea, S. M.
Year: 1993
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

The data presented suggests that the conventional focus in home assessment on ADL issues should be expanded to include other types of barriers such as behaviour problems, security, fire safety, and construction issues.
