January 2002 [<<] AD-AS ADJUSTABLE SINK APPEARS ON NBC'S "PROVIDENCE" A few weeks ago AD-AS received an unusual phone call from the producers of the prime time drama "Providence" on NBC. The plot of upcoming episodes would require a set with a wheelchair-accessible kitchen. AD-AS designs and manufactures height-adjustable products that are used to adapt kitchens for accessibility. Its products are specified by architects and kitchen designers across North America. In two upcoming episodes of "Providence" one of the main characters, Joanie (Paula Cale), is developing a love interest with Phil (Dan Montgomery) who has a disability. The two spend time at his apartment, where the Boise company's Approach™ for the Sink system will be a visible part of the set. The programs will air as part of NBC's national schedule on January 25th and February 1st. Check www.nbc.com/Providence for air times. The height-adjustable sink system is a one-of-a-kind product that allows a wheelchair user's sink to be raised and lowered with the push of a button. See http://www.ad-as.com/kb/approach_sink.htm AD-AS designed and developed the system, which features a proprietary flexible drain kit to accommodate the sink's vertical movement and allow for ample knee space. Approach™ for the Sink is one of AD-AS' complete line of universal design products. "Universal design" is a design movement whose goal is to create environments and products suited to a broad range of people, including people with disabilities. AD-AS designs and manufactures products for healthcare, education, kitchen and bath, and workplace settings.
