Fixing The ADA
By Jill Richardson/Other Words
Instead of designing systems for able-bodied people and offering "accommodations" for the disabled, I prefer universal design: designing systems that are accessible for everybody. That way, nobody is left out, and nobody is "othered" or stigmatized.Posted on July 30, 2020
