"In our culture...we talk about those over 65, 75, 85, etc., as a group with similar needs as they age. We all know that individuals age differently, and older persons often face life transitions they never believed would occur," says Patricia R. Callone, one of the seminar presenters.

BevVan's desire to become an Occupational Therapist and ultimately create Home Access Solutions was inspired by her parents and each of her brothers. Through their examples of wisdom, ingenuity, courage and perseverance she learned early that there is more than one way to do almost any human activity and that independence at
