Walkthrough checklist
- Walk the route from the actual building approach, including thresholds, doors and level changes.
- Identify functions that need an approachable position and reachable controls, and check them with users.
- Check furniture, contrast and signage against applicable accessibility requirements with the project professional.
Worked example
A grandparent joins family meals but the usual dining chairs leave little room to approach the table comfortably.
Test an approach position with the guest and their mobility needs, including chair movement and nearby route. Have the project professional confirm relevant dimensions against applicable local requirements.
How to test it
Repeat the walkthrough after furniture is placed and verify the finished design against the applicable local standards.
