About The Changing Spaces Campaign

The Goals:

• Spread Awareness within our communities about the lack of appropriate changing facilities for older children and adults with the medical need to use incontinence supplies
• Advocate for height-adjustable adult size changing tables in public restroom facilities 
• Connect with sports arenas, large assembly spaces, large stores, parks, etc., to encourage them to install universal changing tables 
• Educate and train new advocates 
• Introduce Legislation in our cities and states in collaboration with local and state government leaders

Advocacy In Ohio

The Ohio Chapter is led by advocates Jennifer Corcoran and Kim Boulter. They were inspired to start this advocacy because of their own struggles to care for their sons while away from home.

Both advocates are mothers to sons who have a disability, and have the need for accessible changing spaces.

Jennifer Corcoran has led the way in advocating for adult changing stations in Ohio. She has collaborated with her representatives to introduce concurrent bills in the Ohio Senate and the Ohio House of Representatives. Unfortunately, neither bill passed. However, she is still making a big difference in Ohio with her advocacy.

Jennifer is working with her county board of Developmental disabilities to install over 10 universal changing tables in the Dayton, Ohio area. Jennifer also served on the International Code Council’s special committee to develop building code for Adult Changing Stations. These standards will be published in the 2024 International Building Code, and serve as a model for adult changing stations across the USA.

In 2022 Kim Boulter joined the Changing Spaces Campaign and is focusing her advocacy on the Central Ohio area. Together, these advocates hope to grow the Ohio campaign and spread awareness of this issue across the state.
