Julie combines her experience of living with a spinal cord injury with her passion for helping people make smart decisions when planning for accessibility.

After completing the construction of her own fully accessible home, Julie wrote Build YOUR Space - How to create an accessible home for you, your family and your future. Julie’s home is the only showcase of Universal Design that demonstrates how accessibility is not just functional, but also beautiful.

Listen in to our conversation as we discuss her book, her experiences, and how accessibility and adaptability is so applicable to everyone suffering from a disability.
