Julie, who has a SCI, will chat about what she learned first hand as a wheelchair user and the knowledge she shares in her new book, “Build Your Space: How To Create An Accessible Home For You, Your Family and Your Future” which looks at ways to create wheelchair accessible accommodations. Her own home is the only showcase of Universal Design that demonstrates how accessibility is not just functional, but also beautiful.
