Gain Access to the APN Webinar Library

Members of the APN have exclusive access to our archive of webinars on accessibility and the built environment. Previous webinars include universal design and adaptable housing standards, building inclusive playspaces, understanding barrier-free renovations, designing with service and guide dogs in mind, and much more.

Watch the following video for a preview of the recorded content available to APN members. This webinar shared the results of a research project that analyzed the added construction costs in relation to accessibility certification for new buildings. The project was conducted by HCMA Architecture, and the project leads from HCMA hosted this webinar.

Man using wheelchair holding paperwork
My listing on the RHFAC Professional Directory regularly generates quality leads for my small accessible consulting business. It is easy for potential clients to find me and get a quick snapshot of my experience as an RHFAC Professional. Creating a more accessible future has always been my passion, and now it’s my business.
