Changing What’s Possible: The Disability Innovation Podcast | Season Three

Episode Two | Innovation in 5: Stress Less About Finding Accessible Public Bathrooms with Ahoi and Momentum Refresh

Whether you’re planning to go to an event or even just catch up with friends over a cup of coffee, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not there will be a bathroom available that meets your needs. Even if public bathrooms comply with all of the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design, they can still be difficult or impossible to use for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. 

In this episode, Becky Hansen, Chief Strategy Officer at Momentum Refresh, and Jake Haendel, Founder of Ahoi, talk about their innovative approaches to making public bathrooms more accessible and inclusive. Momentum Refresh provides fully accessible, universally designed mobile bathrooms to empower people with limited mobility to more easily access community events, venues, and emergency services. Ahoi is a mobile app that leverages community-sourced photos and ratings about the accessibility of bathrooms to help people with disabilities find bathrooms in their area that have the features they need.
