Having been trained in academic settings, my experience as a CADRE researcher gave me new perspectives on research in practice. Here are three things I learned during my research fellowship at CADRE:
Design for aging is design for ALL: Reflections from the Environments for Aging (EFA) Conference 2022
Throughout my experience attending the EFA 2022, I learned new ways of seeing the needs of the aging population translated into environmental needs. Many of these needs are not exclusive to the aging population. I can see children, young adults, mothers, and all other population groups benefit from the impact created through pleasant sonic environments, cognitively empowering environments, and enriched environments. At the end of the day, aging is the experience of all. Shouldn’t design for aging mean design for all?
