A GUIDE TO UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Demographic changes result in a population that is older and more disabled than many realize.
Limitations imposed by products and environments designed and built without regard to the needs and rights of all American citizens are significant.
Public acknowledgment of people with disabilities and progress toward universal design has developed in the last few decades along three parallel tracks:
(1) legislation fueled by the disability rights movement;
(2) barrier-free design to universal design movement; and
(3) advances in rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology.
