How do we design health care environments that are fully welcoming and inclusive of persons with disabilities? This requires thoughtful practices and policies designed to identify and remove barriers, such as physical, communication, and attitudinal. Often these practices benefit people of all ages and abilities. In this session, the presenter defined disabilities and discussed the health challenges experienced by these populations, as well as tangible strategies to build accessibility into everyday health care practices.
