Universal Design: is a concept that emphasizes the creation of products, environments, and services that can be used effectively by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or disability. It aims to eliminate the need for adaptations or specialized designs, making the world more accessible and inclusive for all.

Universal Design Principle 2: Flexibility in use

Importance of Flexibility in use:

​Provides alternatives for people with differing abilities. These alternatives are built into the instructional design and operating systems of educational materials. Example, a captioned video will allow people to choose to listen or to read in order to understand content.

Guidelines:

• Provides choice in methods of use
• Accommodates right and left handed access and use
• Facilitates the users accuracy and precision
• Provides adaptability to the users pace

Imagine a world where buildings are designed with ramps and elevators, allowing easy access for people with mobility impairments. Picture classrooms equipped with assistive technologies, enabling students with learning differences to thrive in their education. Envision websites that are clear, concise, and navigable, accommodating individuals with cognitive or sensory limitations.
