Martin’s pre-designs are already compliant with this height requirement.

The Trapezoid shape makes it easy to roll up to and away from.

If so, we should discuss the best heights for chairs and computer desks to suit wheelchairs. Otherwise, we discussed a lot of great ideas in our last meeting:

1. Adding headphones to the budget for users to comfortably listen to online/software multimedia.
2. A screen reader for the visually impaired.
3. Tutorial software for teaching how to use a computer’s applications.
4. A small reference library on computer basics, cooking, gardening, health and lifestyle, etc.
