Accessible Shower Renovation Made a Reality

Lorenzo is a wheelchair user with Cerebral Palsy who faced access barriers in his bathroom. For it to be accessible, he needed a roll-in shower, special door, and re-tiled floor. His mom reached out to the Association for People with Disabilities (APD) to get their bathroom modification covered. Lorenzo and his family tried to get the renovation approved by APD for two years but were consistently denied due to monetary and staffing reasons. That’s when his mom reached out to us to help cut through the red tape. We worked with the family and the APD to submit supportive paperwork emphasizing the need for a modified shower. With the new request and documents, the renovation project was approved!
