5) Identify elements that the facility has done well to accommodate as well as those thatwould need improvement.
6) What modifications would be required in order to provide equal and equitable access?Rubric:Description of the space and space usage 20%Identification of barriers and accommodations 45%(15% allotted for each of the 3 categories)Discussion of modifications 20%Writing style 15%(spelling, grammar, punctuation, appropriate language, APA format)
