  1. A CEAC consultant is evaluating a client with bilateral lower extremity amputation using bilateral prosthetics. Which exterior threshold modification is MOST critical?

    Answer: Removing the threshold entirely or beveling to ¼ inch or less

    Bilateral prosthetic users have reduced ankle feedback and are highly susceptible to trip hazards; eliminating or reducing the threshold to ¼ inch or less minimizes fall risk.

  2. In accessible design, what does the term 'reach envelope' refer to?

    Answer: The three-dimensional space within which a person can reach without repositioning

    The reach envelope is the full three-dimensional space a person can access from a fixed position, critical for placing controls and objects within functional reach.

  3. Which of the following is a key feature distinguishing a Type A dwelling unit from a Type B dwelling unit under ICC A117.1?

    Answer: Type A units are fully accessible with grab bars installed; Type B units are adaptable with blocking only

    Type A units are fully accessible with features like grab bars already installed, while Type B units include only adaptable features such as wall blocking for future installation.

  4. A consultant recommends a smart home control system for a client with ALS. Which feature is MOST essential for long-term functional independence?

    Answer: Adaptive interface that can be controlled via eye gaze, switch, or voice as abilities decline

    ALS is a progressive condition, so the system must evolve from voice to eye gaze or switch access as motor function declines, ensuring sustained independence.

  5. What is the purpose of the 'clear floor space' requirement specified in ADA Standards?

    Answer: To ensure enough space for a wheelchair to position for use of a fixture or control

    Clear floor space requirements define the minimum unobstructed area needed to position a wheelchair for parallel or forward approach to fixtures, controls, and equipment.

  6. During a post-modification follow-up visit, a CEAC consultant discovers the client is not using the installed grab bars. What is the MOST appropriate next step?

    Answer: Assess whether training, relocation, or additional modifications are needed

    Non-use of modifications often indicates a mismatch between the modification and the client's actual performance or preferences; reassessment leads to better outcomes.

  7. Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which entities are required to make programs accessible?

    Answer: Programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance

    Section 504 applies to any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, requiring that individuals with disabilities not be excluded from participation.
