Feeling left out or excluded sucks with a capital S!
It would be terrific if we could come together and sing Kumbayah and magically melt away physical and attitudinal barriers that discriminate, alienate, and irritate.
Barriers are often unintentional and once we know better, then, we feel compelled to do better.

Access by definition means – a right of entry, or, as I like to say, “me too”.
It’s interesting to note that standards known as “Universal Design” began as early as the 1950s and yet, they are still not widely understood and seldom included in building projects and planning.

In a nutshell, Universal Design involves the design of products, environments, and communication to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without adaptation or specialized design.
