designing interior space for disabled?

palminnie1 · **Posted: 04-12-2010 , 09:08 PM** #1

hi again, most know by now that i am disabled as is the twino.
we are planning to live together but want to start looking at ideas for wheelchair user interiors for our home. we hope to actually have two small apartments in same home, we have seen one recently, but bit expensive.
but we want to stay pos and love interior design at best of time.
any videos, sites etc any person here seen or how the flip do i find, tried googling a bit, so far no go.

Glad to help, there is loads of info on the net, check out citizens advice as well, your local TD might be able to do something for you also.
