When disability varies from person to person so much how is a home created to be accessible?  Well, this is in one of Peta's sweet spots in her knowledge. Accessible construction and design is a passion of Peta's; so much so she has a qualification in the area. So this episode is in two halves, first Peta will take about what makes her home accessible for her and her disability. Then a very special guest Jenna Cohen from Honeycomb Access & Design talks us through what makes a public building accessible both in design choices and from a legal standpoint.    Get in touch with Jenna from Honeycomb Access & Design: Website: honeycombaccess.com.au Email: jenna@honeycombaccess.com.au Instagram: @honeycomb_access   You can ask Peta a question via: The website: www.icantstandpodcast.com Email: icantstandpodcast@gmail.com You can follow Peta on Instagram @petahooke Episode transcriptSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
