  1. Common Practice • Document disability • Identify functional limitations resulting from interaction between environment and disability. • Institute “reasonable accommodations” to allow student with disability equal opportunity. • Where is the focus of this intervention?

  2. Universal Design The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The goal is to increase access for people with divergent needs and preferences without treating them differently.

  3. Universal design is a design approach that originates from the belief that the broad range of human ability is ordinary… not special. UD accommodates people with disabilities, older people, children and others who are non-average. Universal design stems from the attitude that environments are disabling to individuals and that they could be designed in ways that are usable by a majority of people with a variety of personal differences. Universal Design is proactive, inclusive and sustainable.
