From Library Journal
The principles of universal design accommodate not only the disabled but also people of varying sizes, shapes, abilities, and ages (traditional designs are based on able-bodied, nonelderly adults who make up less than 15 percent of the population). Peterson, a certified designer, discusses how kitchens and bathrooms can be built with these principles in mind. Numerous illustrations show how floor plans, storage, fixtures, and appliances can be configured to allow their use by anyone. A must for every library that can afford it.

Peterson's many pages of illustrated guidelines should be helpful to kitchen and bathroom planners trying to incorporate universal principles in their designs. Everything from planning for the two-cook kitchen to providing adequate space for bathroom-fixture access is carefully laid out, and there are a number of hints and suggestions for making daily chores easier for people with a wide range of abilities. Balance, strength, coordination, safety, mobility, sight, perception and cognition are some of the traits that need to be kept in mind.
