Universal Design

Universal design is the process of creating services that are accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, disabilities, and other characteristics. Universally designed services accommodate individual preferences and abilities; communicate necessary information effectively (regardless of the user's sensory abilities); and can be accessed and used regardless of the individual's body size, posture, or mobility. Application of universal design principles makes services more usable by everyone, not just people with disabilities.
