OTA 1120 Modalities I is a two-hour/week Community-Engaged Learning course. This course covers manual wheelchairs, ADL and IADL techniques and adapted devices, activity analysis, architectural accessibility and universal design, ergonomics, static splinting, workplace design, and patient cognitive levels.
The goal of this assignment was to assess the accessibility of a local business using knowledge of Title III ADA guidelines. Our group went to a Subway to see if they were up to ADA guidelines. It was a great opportunity to connect our knowledge of architectural accessibility, universal design, and workplace design to a more functional use. Doing this helped me gain a better understanding and awareness of the ADA guidelines. It also helped me gain more empathy for those affected when these guidelines aren't met.
