Stretching beyond the successes and challenges of universal design since the inception of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 and its amendment in 2008, Inclusive Design: A Universal Need details how an inclusive approach to design creates an accessible and aesthetically pleasing environment for a total population — not just the aging or differently abled. Fully covering CIDA accreditation standards that include both the application of ADA and universal design, the text further specifies the benefits of an inclusive approach to residential and commercial environments, product design and technology.
  • Floor plans for various design typologies demonstrating the application of inclusive design from homes to hospitals, offices, schools, shops, and theaters
  • Features focusing on specific challenges such as introducing universal design into historic preservation, aging in place, and creating homes and work environments conducive to activities for all generations and abilities
  • Design scenarios providing examples of how inclusive design can be applied to residential, commercial, and product design
  • Profiles including inclusive designer Michael Graves; motivational speaker and wheelchair user Rosemarie Rossetti, PhD; blind mountain climber Erick Weibenmayer; executive director of the Institute of Human Centered Design Valerie Fletcher; and other educators and leaders of organizations that promote inclusie design—a universal need
