Accessibility Is Home podcast: Disability-Informed Real Estate Conversations.
Accessibility Is Home is the podcast about accessible homes, inclusive home design, and private-market real estate for people with disabilities —focusing on the reality that most everyday homes in the United States are not required to be accessible.
Hosted by Angela Fox, blogger and author of My Blue Front Door, the show explores how people with physical, sensory, cognitive, chronic, and senior with disabilities navigate the real estate market to buy, modify, and live in homes that truly meet their needs.
Through conversations with realtors, builders, contractors, developers, advocates, and disabled homeowners, Angela examines real-world barriers in the private housing market and highlights practical solutions such as home modifications, inclusive home features, disability-informed real estate practices, and pathways to accessible homeownership.
Whether you are a disabled homebuyer, family member, real estate professional, or builder, this podcast delivers clear insight into creating and finding accessible homes beyond subsidized programs—where accessibility is part of the home itself, not an exception. Because everyone deserves a home that works.

15# Transportation options; the glue between health and housing for the disable community
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Outside of affordable health care, the second most important issue for the disability community is transportation! Transportation is needed for medical appointments, work, and life in general. The third most important issue is housing; so another way of thinking about access to transportation is not the second most important issue, it is the glue between health and the home.
But what kind of transportation?
- Traditional Taxi; mini vans with modifications and wheelchair transfer board friendly Sedan model;
- Non-medical transportation; and
- Para transit.
I don't just tell you about transportation options if you are disable, I give you a real life experience of my bad trip with Barwood taxi of montgomery county, Maryland. You won't believe what happened to me and you will have an insight of how the transportation options became both a good and bad option when I tried to travel to Orlanda, Florida for the #Podfest conference. But you will also learn how to file a complaint and how to avoid trouble when ordering a handicap taxi.
