Summary: A Teacher helping a student's family
Review: I am an elementary school teacher. This passed school year, I had a student whose mother was in a wheelchair. We spoke about his mother's situation and the difficulty his mother had getting into their home and maneuvering around the house. The doors of the house are too narrow; there isn't enough space in the bathroom for her to safely transfer out of the wheelchair onto the toilet. Also, the mother has received many burns from reaching over boiling pots to turn the knobs on and off. I decided to do some research over the summer for this family regarding how homes can be made to be more accessible for people with disabilities. I came across this book in the search for books and decided to by it. I found the book to be well-written, clear and concise, and easy to read. The diagrams also added to the readability. They were very useful in giving a visual explanation. This book opened my eyes to many issues regarding the accessibility of people with disabilities.

Summary: Why Buy A Reprint of a Government Document
Review: It's bad enough to have persons without disabilities profit from their work and advocacy, but it's particularly offensive to copy to works of both Government and Ron Mace, put their name on it and call it an original work.

Shame on this book...
