Shirley Confino-Rehder

Certified Interior Designer, ADA and Universal Design advocate, lecturer, teacher, certified mediator, expert witness.    

"Our responsibility to each other is to eliminate barriers of attitude and architecture through the concepts of Universal Design so that everyone can take part in the social and economic opportunities this wonderful world offers.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a tool to use. We must understand it, work with it, and teach it so its intent becomes an integral part of our lives."
