In 2004, Dr. Rossetti was crowned Ms. Wheelchair Ohio, and since then, she has become a powerful voice in the disability community. Her personal journey began in 1998 when she acquired a spinal cord injury, leading her to connect with OOD’s Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation and champion the importance of accessibility in all aspects of life. Together with her husband, Dr. Rossetti designed and built the Universal Design Living Laboratory, North America's highest-rated universal design home. This project serves as a national demonstration of how universal design principles can create welcoming and functional spaces for everyone. In her keynote presentation titled "Why Accessibility Matters," Dr. Rossetti shares valuable insights on the critical importance of incorporating accessibility from the outset. Her message motivates us to envision and work toward a more inclusive future.
