[BCMA] Building Accessibility Needs Analysis

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Another consideration might be to ask a local physiotherapist and/or
occupational therapist to review the plans. Sometimes the Building Code
suggestions/ guidelines are fine until you add several corners or doorway
in series and then they don't work. Considering the increasing number of
electric scooters and wheelchairs that are larger than the simple ones
there could be an issue.

I'm a retired physio with some experience retrofitting older buildings.
