Read this. Accessibility isn’t just ramps, elevators, and Braille signs. It’s not even just open, smart design. It’s certainly not treating laws and regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as a checklist. Accessibility is acknowledging and embracing that all people are entitled to equal access to housing, employment, education, and the enjoyment of life. Everyone is entitled to be engaged, productive members of society. We need to bake that premise into everything we design, build, and do, so we don’t think about it, it’s just there as something we build upon. (Thanks to my friend Ben Treuhaft for this particular epiphany, among others.)
