The Adaptive Home
LOCATED ON 6000 LEVEL
The Adaptive Home is a guide to making homes accessible for the visually impaired
Problem Space
People with low vision or blindness and their support networks lack a centralized, accessible platform to collaboratively discover home modifications. Helpful independence-building knowledge is scattered across clinical resources and word of mouth tips. Existing resources are often geared toward older adults losing their vision, leaving younger individuals trying to build independence for the first time without relevant, accessible support.
Design Solution
The Adaptive Home is an interactive guide that makes home modifications fun and approachable. Created as a web-based experience with built-in audio, it supports both visual and non-visual users, making it accessible for people with vision impairment alongside caregivers, advocates, and family members. Start with the basics, then explore an interactive home. Move through each space and discover practical tips right where you need them. Continue your journey with curated resources and community connections so learning doesn’t stop when you leave.
