Universal Design


The idea of universal design is so important because it affords everyone the same opportunity and it makes resources accessible to all. It does not single out individuals who might have a disability, by age, race, or status in life; instead, it conforms to everyone. Due to this, I feel that society will look at and treat people with disabilities equally. The great thing about universal design is that it is flexible in use! People across a lifespan will be able to use the resources; therefore, maximizing the use of materials and the environment. Example of universal designs are as followed: automatic soap dispensers, curb ramps, elevators, or automatic door openers. By promoting the idea of universal design, people will be able to fulfil their occupations in a low physical effort!
