Title: Assignment 4: Environmental assessment
Course: PHT 1007 Topics in Physical Therapy > Section: Module 15

Evaluate a commercial site/community building for accessibility and functional use for a disabled person. Be specific as to what barriers are present that impact accessibility for the person. Explain how these barriers could be modified or eliminated in order for the site to become compliant with ADA regulations. Consider that the “shopper” may be in a wheelchair or perhaps using an assistive device to ambulate and they may not have someone with them to assist them in their visit to the establishment. Discuss how the barriers that are present link to the function of the disabled person while they are in the establishment.

Components of your summary report

- Describe the site (entrance/exit, stairs, stories, overall accessibility
- Lists the barriers to access or functional use
- Links the barriers to patient performance or function
- Provides recommendations for ADA compliance
