I, hearing loss architect, feel that international networking is very important. I traveled in Italy and in the rest of Europe for the fellowship research. I met with several hard of hearing people, including architects, designers, teachers, and researchers in the field of architecture who could discuss their country’s codes. I realized that some of them in Eastern Europe had little sensibility for people with disabilities in the public accommodation. I think it is very important to work with them and advocates for people with disabilities to build a bridge to foreign countries in order to positively influence disability policy.
