Design (Rx) Prescription

Design and remodeling is about problem solving. There are simple things we can modify in our homes that make a huge difference in the activities of daily life, and in the entire mojo of the household. So here’s the story in numbers. In the United Stated, 1 in 50 kids are on the Autism Spectrum. For Alzheimer’s there are 5.3 million people, and 3.9 million live at home. If you know more than one person with autism or Alzheimer’s, you know that it is different for each person. That is why I call this a Design (Rx). We need to select the solutions that will best help your design needs. I’ve been lucky to present my ‘Design Prescription‘ for Alzheimer’s and Autism at national conferences and contribute ideas with journalists. And I'm always looking for new opportunities to share what I've learned. I wish you the best of luck, and endless patience, in your journey. Please email me theresa@myfixituplife.com with any questions.
