Things In My Accessible Home That Just Make Sense! (my blind accessible condo features) 

It’s cool that you share different ways to help accessibility become easier! It gives people great ideas so that it can help them too ❤️

Couldn't help laughing when Elton John sat on your lap, reminded me of when he did this at Mira when I thought he was trying to cheer you up 😂

I would have my bathroom sink to be higher.

@@shalacarter6658 She is 4'9" tall. I am sure there is a reason her bathroom sink is the height it is.

Rounded corners are such a good idea!! I’m sighted but incredibly clumsy, and I hadn’t even thought of choosing rounded corners! Probably could’ve saved myself a lot of bruises lol

Right!! 😅

Love this! I'm a planner and I definitely look to Molly for tips too! Her channel is such a great resource :)

Very cool! There are so many different accessibility needs. I feel like sighted people could benefit from rounded corners as well. I have chronic back pain and can not bend so for me, things that are low to the ground are tough. And don't even get me started on types of chairs lol

Elton John is crazy for attention. But Gallop looks sad with no attention to him. He is still as calm as when he was on duty as your guide dog. Love the tour of your place. You look great with those colors.

We have lights all over our corridors and bathroom that turn on by a sensor. It’s great because we do not have to walk in the dark nor we have to turn all the lights.

​@@jillsarah7356 Out of curiosity, what types of chairs are better?

Oh wow, thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!

Yes! Looks soooo good!!!

I was literally staring at her outfit the whole time 😍😍 it looks flawless on her

@@MollyBurkeOfficial, I totally agree! The neutrals are also a GREAT look. Very sleek and sophisticated.

I love a sleek look on her, but I don't care for those colours at all.

You can do it on the switch itself by putting it at the dim you like and holding down the round button for 5 sec I think or until the lights flash twice.

I think normal corners and door handles are pretty formidable enemies to many fully sighted people (including me lol). 😂

@@Silthria I'm sighted and I'm convinced that I was given the wrong body (hips, tall, long arms & legs, etc). Like, how am I *so clumsy??* Was I a snail in a past life, with zero spacial awareness to how an environment affects my shelled body? 🤣

Right? I'm sighted and I still walk into them. This is brilliant!

The rounded edges are a must!! Total game changer!

Rounded corners are safer for all but the most coordinated people.

Honestly, my vision is fine.. but Fibromyalgia causes me to be unbalanced and bump into things all the time. I wish there were rounded doors and doorways. I always have bruises. Honest question: Would I be a bad person to accept an ada apartment? They have wider doorways, so I'm injured less often, but I know they're meant for wheelchairs. But, they do prioritize wheelchair users, so being offered one means they have none on the list. If accepted, would it be ok to keep it?

@@cetkat This sounds like an accommodation you need.

I'm sighted and I run into corners all the time because I'm in too much of a hurry and clutzy.

OMG STOOOPP! You're too kind!!!

@@MollyBurkeOfficial 🧜‍♀️💕✨

@@MollyBurkeOfficial you are 💖 you're such a role model 💪

100% agree!

Gem from Wheels No Heels made some videos a while back about her wheelchair accessible kitchen. Jessica Kellgren-Fozard has also made some videos about her house renovations (she has a list of disabilities).

Honestly during training they didn’t teach us at all at my airline, I won’t say what airline , and I feel like I did absolutely everything wrong that you’re not supposed to do. So what I wish someone would have told us at training …. ( I don’t know if your aisles are straight but our first class actually has a random … curve ? Before you get to the main cabin. ) So be sure to let that person know if anything is coming up even if it’s at shin or knee level. I think we get so used to the layout of our own aircraft sometimes you don’t realize small details like that. Then , I would say be sure to offer your elbow or ask if you can grab their elbow . Be sure to mention if any of the lavatories are closed on one end or another so they don’t waste their time and if you say it over the speakers they may not notice so be sure to mention that during the briefing. Finally 😅 and most embarrassingly , I would say once they’re seated , maybe even lean in during the conversation , especially if they have a soft voice. I had thought this person was finished speaking and that we had understood each other and apparently after I walked away they had more to say and they didn’t know I had left. I felt totally mortified ! But anyway no one warned me about that stuff and I was brand new when that happened so I felt really jittery about getting the passengers seated and the door closed on time. So just relax and apologize best as you can if you happen to make any mistakes like me !! 😅

The only special assistance they trained me at my airline was basically four basic comments to remind them of and none really had to do with day to day activities it was all emergency procedures stuff. But your airline is hopefully more advanced than mine they may have really improved as time goes on as well I suppose .

They should call it Accessibility for Passengers briefing. Accessibility is not "special," it's for everyone! Stairs, glasses, cars, are all forms of accessibility!

Did you know you can make your own home ADHD-accessable/friendly? I also have ADHD, as well as a bunch of other psychiatric disorders, and since I did some changes a lot of things are easier for me to do at home. - A big whiteboard where I plan the week, with magnets of things to do (laundry, pharmacy, shower, friends etc), and a small portable one where I plan my day. I can easily see if I have planned in too much and need to cut down, or if it's imbalance in the week. - Place out things where I need them, so I don't need to go get them and get distracted on my way and forget my mission. Therefore I have 3 stations of pen and paper just in my kitchen, and that helps me not forgetting what I'm about to write down. My food shopping is easier to plan when I can grab the pen right on the spot. - Having timers on multiple places. If you're gonna do something fun and risk hyperfocus or getting stuck for too long, put a timer! If I'm on the computer I use the computer timer, for showering I use a kitchen timer to remind me to go to the next step and not standing for 30 minutes doing creams or whatever. There is more to do, this is just what I remembered right now. You can check out the channel "How to ADHD" here on RU-vid, that's where I got my inspiration from. She's really great!

@@SamirCCat I LOVE that channel! Those are great suggestions.

YES! I too am a sighted ADHDer and was thinking the same thing! I came to this video after seeing a short Molly did on her rounded kitchen island and lack of drawer pulls. I thought, “now THAT is a kitchen for me!” Molly, your home is stunning! I am completely in love love LOVE with all the textures and lighting options. Chef’s kiss!

Love this! It's such a blessing when we can make our spaces work for us, whatever those needs may be!

Maybe something like a bar soap for body wash, a pump top shampoo dispenser, and a squeezy conditioner bottle so they all have distinct shapes?

I’m sure she does. I mean, even I do & I don’t have vision issues. I just haven’t seen it in any of her videos I’ve seen.
