Look at one everyday route.
Choose a route you use often, such as the path between your bed and bathroom. Notice items on the floor, cords across the walkway, and places that are difficult to see.
Ask yourself: What gets in my way? What change would make this route easier to use?
Put everyday items within reach.
Look at the things you use most. Consider a convenient place where you can reach them without climbing or stretching. Choose a location that works with your routines.
Make a plan together.
If you are supporting someone else, ask permission first: “Would you be open to looking at this together?” Listen to what matters to them before suggesting changes.
Choose one space. Notice one concern. Agree on one next step.
Keep learning.
