ADA and Home Modifications ADA Guidelines do not have to be followed to
the letter, but they are a good reference. When evaluating a client you should look at
the whole picture. Client’s daily routine (work –vs.- home all day).
- Home Modifications- ADL within the home- Vehicle Modifications- Seating and Mobility- Jobsite Accommodation
All of these should be addressed and evaluated when looking at the “whole picture” of enhancing the independence of a person with a disability.

Final Thoughts
Achieving a client’s ability to be as independent as possible is our goal. Always look at the whole picture of a person’s life from home, work, social and religious environments. The road to independence is a revolving door and one that will need nurturing throughout a person’s life.
