Can Ficocelli Design work with individuals of all ages?
Yes, absolutely. We at Ficocelli Design are creative problem solvers with a great deal of experience and emphasis on issues surrounding individuals with disabilities. The unique disabling conditions and needs of individuals with disabilities span across multiple facets of society, including age, and we are happy and privileged to provide services to assist in the improvement of, and access to, life for individuals of all ages.
Can Ficocelli Design travel to your location to provide consulting services?
Yes we can. We pride ourselves on being very flexible in the nature of our consulting services, and as such, being able to handle projects from beginning to end, or providing services as needed at different points in the process. This flexibility also includes making ourselves available to you at your location, wherever that happens to be. There are also possibilities that we could provide some services to you remotely, but this option would have to be investigated on an individual basis with very definitive and specific information provided to Ficocelli Design in order to provide remote assistance. This also could be the case with regard to training, where there are options for providing training to you from our office via Internet access technologies.
Can you work with attorneys or life care planners in the development of a life care plan or the implementation of accommodations after a settlement?
Yes we can. We can assist with consultation in the development of the life care plan including ideas for accommodation solutions, costs, product recommendations, vendor recommendations, design services and associated costs, and recommendations for allied professionals to consult with for additional feedback. We can also provide soup-to-nuts services for the home access needs (see our Home Access page), accommodations for computer access (see Computer Access page), as well as cognitive and safety issues.
Can you assist an employer with discerning the accommodation needs of an employee?
Absolutely. We are well versed in accommodation issues and resolutions, as well as the ADA and ADAAG. We also understand that companies are not philanthropic entities established in order to provide work for others, but rather are businesses where the employees are necessary to accomplish the required tasks and make a profit. We work to facilitate win-win solutions. Accommodation is much less costly than the cost of attrition and replacement. Win-win solutions carry far-reaching benefits in maintaining a good employee, motivating loyalty, as well as the secondary benefit of morale building for that employee, as well as many others privy to the winning solution.
What state or federal agencies can you provide services to?
We are providers for the US Department of Labor Office of Workers’ Compensation, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, state vocational rehabilitation agencies, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, and the TriCare CAP program for veterans,
If we already have an architect involved in the design of a home, or modifications to our existing home, can Ficocelli Design do blueprint or floor plan review so that we can be assured of a fully accessible and universally designed space for our child, loved one, or spouse in our home?
This is a routine practice by Ficocelli Design in providing this expertise to architects and other designers not as thoroughly versed in the issues of accessibility as Ficocelli Design. This is an excellent way to ensure that the money that you are spending to build or modify your home to meet the accessibility needs in your home are done the most effectively, efficiently, and functionally.
