Using OT experience to create the Inclusive Housing Design Guide

The Inclusive Housing Design Guide, published in September 2024, is authored by Jacquel Runnalls and peer reviewed by Marney Walker, both housing occupational therapists who specialise in advising on inclusive and accessible housing design.
Jacquel Runnalls (author) and Marney Walker (peer reviewer), both housing occupational therapists, will present on how they applied their extensive experience of working with disabled and older people to the design of large scale housing developments to The Inclusive Housing Design Guide. Using examples of good practice, technical drawings that incorporate people drawn to scale, case studies and user insights, they will demonstrate how the guide provides a rationale for exceeding minimum building regulatory requirements
