On each episode of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", a team of professional designers is given one week to transform an entire home - interior and exterior. In many episodes, the designers incorporate universal design concepts into their rebuild. In an October 2004 episode, the team went to work for the Vardon family in Detroit, Michigan. Judy and Larry Vardon, both of whom are deaf, have two sons, one of whom is blind and autistic. The "Extreme Makeover" team worked with HITEC Group International to incorportate innovative assistive technology solutions to facilitate communication between the family members and to make a safer environment for all of the Vardons.
