What is UD?
Usable by all people to the greatest extent possible without the need for adaptation or special design
Accessible to everyone from the beginningJust plain good design Slide3
UD is not the same as the ADA
ADA is just the beginning
ADA is the minimal requirement to satisfy a lawUD is cost effectiveJapan & Germany

: Good signage is keySlide18
Staff Awareness
Staff training in appropriate language
Public service philosophyUnderstanding of accommodations and where to find appropriate informationSlide19
Materials
Pictures in publications and websites that include people with diverse characteristics
Materials that are easy to reach, not blocked by furnitureDon’t shelve to the top or the bottomAisles wider than the ADA requires make it easier for everyone
Publications in diverse formatsSlide20

Technology
Tech landscape is changing (Desktop ->Laptop ->Tablet)
Accessibility is often built in but must be enabledFormerly special has become mainstream (Siri,

Equitable Use
Useful to people with diverse abilities
Provides same means of use for all users
Avoids segregating or stigmatizing usersProvisions for privacy, security and safety for allDesign is appealing to all usersSlide32
Flexibility in Use
Design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities
Provides choice in methods of useAccommodates right and left-handed access and useFacilitates users accuracy and precisionProvides adaptability to user's paceSlide33
Perceptible Information
The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities
It uses different modes (pictoral, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential informationIt provides adequate contrast between essential information and its surroundings
It maximizes legibility of essential informationIt makes it easy to give instructions or directionsIt provides compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory disabilitiesSlide34
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
It eliminates unnecessary complexityIt is consistent with user expectations and intuitionIt accommodates a wide range of literacy and language skills
It arranges information consistent with it's importanceIt provides effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion Slide35
Low Physical Effort
The design can be used efficiently and comfortably with a minimum of fatigue
It allows user to maintain neutral body positionIt uses reasonable operating forcesIt minimizes repetitive actionsIt minimizes sustained physical effortSlide36
Tolerance for Error
The design minimizes hazards and averse consequences or accidental or untended actions
It arranges elements to minimize hazards and errors, most used elements, most accessible, hazardous elements eliminated, isolated or shieldedIt provides warnings of hazards or errorsIt provides fail-safe features
It discourages unconscious action in tasks that require vigilanceSlide37
Size and Space for Approach and Use
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation and use, regardless of user's body size, posture of mobility
It provides a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing userIt makes reaching all components comfortable for any seated or standing user
It accommodates variation in hand and grip sizeIt provides adequate space for the user of assistive devices or personal assistance
