INTRODUCTION
Universal Design is an approach to creating products,
environments, and systems that are accessible and usable by
people of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds.

It aims to eliminate barriers and promote inclusivity,

ensuring equal access and usability for everyone.

The goal of Universal Design is to maximize usability by

individuals with a wide variety of characteristics. Whether
we are talking about learning strategies or physical space,
Universal Design operates by a set of principles designed to
maximize access by everyone

PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Principle 1: Equitable Use
The design should be usable by people with
diverse abilities, providing the same means of use
for all users.
It eliminates unnecessary barriers or disadvantages
and promotes equal access to the design.
Principle 2: Flexibility in Use
The design should accommodate a wide range of
individual preferences and abilities.
It offers choices and options, allowing users to
interact with and use the design in ways that suit
their specific needs.
Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use
The design should be easy to understand and use,
requiring minimal complexity or specialized
knowledge.
Clear instructions and intuitive interfaces make the
design user-friendly for everyone.
Principle 4: Perceptible Information
The design should present information effectively
to users, regardless of their sensory abilities.
It utilizes multiple modes of communication, such
as visual, auditory, and tactile, to ensure
information is perceivable by all users.
