Nussbaumer 2014

How does the Disability Act of 2005 define Universal Design?

"Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their age, size or disability. This includes public places in the built environment such as buildings, streets or spaces that the public have access to; products and services provided in those places; and systems that are available including information and communications technology"

3. Accessible

*a.* Differences in people— age, size, abilities, ethnicity *b.* Easy to use with minimal effort *c.* Easy to understand information *d.* Flexibility *e.* Convenience & enjoyment *f.* Removes barriers *g.* The ADAAG

4. Secure

*a.* Health, safety, and welfare *b.* Physical health: ergonomics; indoor air quality; safety; security *c.* Psychological health: feelings of security and safety

1. Responsive

*a.* Taking account of the needs and wants of all people involved *b.* People (users) involved in all aspects if the project from pre-design through occupancy *c.* Daily user's needs— specific needs for the present and future, which include supportive products *d.* Invisible accessibility that does not draw attention to a disability

What are the 7 principles of Universal Design

Principle 1: Equitable Use Principle 2: Flexibility in Use Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use Principle 4: Perceptible Information Principle 5: Tolerance for Error Principle 6: Low Physical Effort Principle 7: Size and Space for Approach and Use

What does the ADA cover?

Starts with the parking lot and continues to the interior: (i.e. Parking space, ramps, building approaches, doors, floor surfaces, changes in levels, stairs/steps, elevators, bathrooms, alarms, & signage)

Principle 2: Flexibility in Use

The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.

Principle 6: Low Physical Effort

The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.

Principle 4: Perceptible Information

The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.

Principle 1: Equitable Use

The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities

Principle 5: Tolerance for Error

The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.

Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use

Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. (i.e. Ikea picture directions or app icons)

According to CABE (2006), buildings and spaces that apply these principles will become...

» Inclusive: everyone can use them safely, easily, & with dignity » Responsive: taking account of what people say they need & want » Flexible: different people can use them in different ways » Convenient: everyone can use them without too much effort or separation » Accommodating: for all people, regardless of their age, gender, mobility, ethnicity, or circumstances » Welcoming: with no disabling barriers that might exclude some people » Realistic: offering more than one solution to help balance everyone's needs and recognizing that one solution may not work for all

» Pass-through kitchens: counters, appliances, and cabinets are located on two opposing sides or parallel walls (40" minimum) » U-shaped kitchens: need 60" minimum

» Pass-through kitchens: counters, appliances, and cabinets are located on two opposing sides or parallel walls (40" minimum) » U-shaped kitchens: need 60" minimum

What is the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)?

» The ADA is a civil rights legislation to protect people with physical and mental disabilities » ADA mandates that business and buildings used by the public must provide access to and be usable by individuals with disabilities. » Residential spaces are not required to follow ADA guidelines

Signage (another form of accessibility)

» must be easy to read and understand » symbols that are legible for low vision » international symbols (give information without words) i.e. international symbol for accessibility, text phone, volume control phone, & access for hearing loss

When applying inclusive design to products, what aspects of the human existence?

» range from children through adulthood » temporary or permanent health changes that may affect ability to walk, grasp objects, see, hear, smell, think clearly, etc. » eyesight » hearing » mobility » dexterity » cognition » physical stature (tall, short, large-bodied) » physical disability » those with assistive devices, supportive products, signage, etc.
