This publication provides instructions and visual diagrams both for adapting existing structures and for building new facilities to meet the special needs of the disabled. Each of the two main sections is divided into two parts: "The Site" and "The Building." The first section, "Modification of Existing Schools," covers topics of grading, walks, curbs, parking lots, ramp requirements, entrances, internal doors and doorways, stairs, handrails and balustrades, elevators, platform and chair-type lifts, washrooms, water fountains, cloakrooms, public telephones, floors and floor finishes, and wall finishes. The second section, "New Facilities: Planning for the Disabled," discusses size and location of the site, topography, landscaping, schoolgrounds, corridors, classroom and instructional areas, cafeterias, auditoriums and lecture halls, and swimming pools. The much briefer third and fourth sections, "Special Features and Equipment" and "Physical Environment," include instructions for work and storage areas, chalkboards, work tables, sand and water tables, art easels, carrels, water, window sills, lighting, and safety. Three appendixes include charts of anthropometric data, wheelchair data, and a checklist. (IW)
