design for disability

Design for disability, also known as inclusive or universal design, involves creating products, spaces, and systems that are accessible and usable by people with diverse abilities and limitations. This approach seeks to remove barriers, ensuring individuals with disabilities can participate fully and independently. It considers features like ramps, adjustable interfaces, tactile cues, and clear signage, benefiting everyone—including the elderly and those temporarily impaired. The goal is to create equitable experiences that accommodate all users without special adaptation or additional costs, fostering greater independence, safety, and inclusivity in daily life.
