In our pursuit of promoting #UniversalDesign, effective messaging is paramount. Ageism & pervasive stereotype-driven marketing often fails to resonate with older adults. To combat this, we must think beyond ageist assumptions and present positive and empowering messages. GOAL: Communicate evidence-based enthusiasm for the possibilities and rewards of honest, positive methods to effectively reach different segments of the Aging in Place market. Get Ready: Your messaging is going to call upon you to be an active participant in changing the conversation about older adults, addressing ageism, intergenerational dynamics, investing in innovation & in dignity. ***This is a re-enactment of a speech originally presented at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders Show, February 27, 2024*** Please Share/Subscribe/Comment #IBS2024Speaker #positivityeffect #universaldesign #customizedaging #modifyormove #reframingaging #aginginplace #accessibility #NAHB #accessibleliving

Design with Accessibility in Mind! We’re living longer than ever, but what good are extra years if we can’t get through our own front doors? Housing must meet the needs and preferences of a growing population of older adults and people with disabilities, so we can broaden our markets, repair our housing supply and meet the needs of multiple generations. The demand, appeal and benefits of incorporating aging-in-place and Universal Design principles has never been greater.
