Dr. Wuebker is a recognized leader in merging occupational therapy principles with universal design to create more accessible, inclusive, and resilient environments. With a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Creighton University and 14 years of experience, she has dedicated her career to bridging traditional accessibility approaches with innovative, occupation-based design strategies. As the founder and owner of Uncurbed, an accessibility consulting firm, she champions the belief that design changes benefiting people with disabilities and historically marginalized communities can have a net benefit for everyone. Leveraging the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model, her work ensures that spaces support not only physical accessibility but also meaningful participation in everyday activities. As a consultant for the Great Plains ADA Center in her role as the Iowa ADA Liaison, she provides expert technical assistance on a diverse range of projects, from institutional to residential spaces, always seeking opportunities to exceed minimum standards and foster truly inclusive design. Dr. Wuebker collaborates with design professionals across disciplines to promote universal design principles and inclusive practices. Certified through the ADA Coordinator Training Certification Program (ACTCP), she also delivers educational programs at the national, regional, and local levels, emphasizing the significance of participation and the dynamic interaction between individuals, their environments, and their occupations. Her mission is to redefine accessibility through inclusive practices that empower individuals and communities to fully engage in their surroundings.
