The disabled are handicapped only to the extent that they are prevented from being normal. The process of normalization is hampered by physical barriers in the home that make life difficult for disabled persons. Staff can be trained to eliminate these architectural barriers in the home, focusing primarily on accessibility, the bathroom, the bedroom, and the kitchen. Completion of the barrier-free design of the home should provide a cost-effective means for improving the quality of life for disabled persons and their families.
残疾人只是在无法过上正常生活的程度上才被视为有缺陷。家庭中的物理障碍阻碍了正常化进程,这些障碍给残疾人的生活带来困难。可以对工作人员进行培训,以消除家庭中的这些建筑障碍,主要关注无障碍设施、浴室、卧室和厨房。完成家庭无障碍设计应能提供一种经济有效的方式来提高残疾人和他们家人的生活质量。
