Fully Accessible
Under the SDA, Fully Accessible housing is designed to assist people with a significant physical impairment by providing a high level of physical access features. A person with significant physical impairment experiences an extreme or complete loss of the ability to perform one or more self-care or self-management functions. This can include mobility, eating, toileting or managing their behaviour. People with significant physical impairment can only perform the activity in a limited capacity, even with home modifications and assistive technology.
