The mounting need for safer and more comfortable homes for multi-generational users is clearer every year. With the benefits of new technologies, materials and techniques, product designers and interior designers are answering the needs with style, shedding the stigma often associated with Universal Design solutions.

At this Fall Lunch & Learn John O'Meara, President of HEWI, will discuss how global & national movements address this challenge and provide practical tools to provide valuable advice and pleasing solutions with benefits for all users. John's presentation will give you the tools to develop and communicate your own guiding principles to the benefit of your clients.
