Evaluating how different populations interact with healthcare environments to expose accessibility gaps and usability breakdowns across exam spaces, circulation, and support areas.
Converting population-specific functional performance demands into clear spatial requirements that support efficient care delivery and engagement.
Identifying implementation vulnerabilities across capital planning, value engineering, and post-occupancy evaluation that compromise functional and accessibility requirements.
At ADL Consultants, we understand that healthcare environments shape human outcomes. Occupational therapy is the only health profession centered on the relationship between human activity, ability, and environment. While other disciplines sustain life at the bedside, OT examines performance in context—across physical, cognitive, sensory, and social dimensions. This expertise allows us to translate clinical insight into healthcare space planning and design. Without occupational therapy, healthcare spaces are humanly incomplete.
We engage with health systems and design teams through charrettes, stakeholder interviews, drawing reviews, and value engineering sessions. Our contributions translate functional and accessibility insights into actionable guidance that aligns with architectural workflows and supports informed design decisions.
