“Barrier-free” is a term that appears throughout accessibility standards and licensing language, but staff are not always given a clear, working definition of what it requires in practice. Group Living Course 1219: What is Meant By the Term: Barrier Free? gives group home and Adult Foster Care staff a grounded understanding of barrier-free environments and the standards behind them.
The course reviews accessibility standards and guidelines as they apply to physical environments, the assistive technologies and tools that support residents with limited mobility or ability, and practical methods for evaluating and improving accessibility in existing spaces. The emphasis throughout is on environments that support dignity and independence, not simply regulatory minimums.
This 4-CEU Michigan course carries national application, giving staff a working framework for identifying and addressing barriers wherever they operate, and a completion certificate suitable for personnel files and compliance documentation.
