Universal Design Solutions build off the concept of universal design. Originally created to promote architectural access for people with disabilities, universal design provides a diverse public with access to technology, education, and services. Universal design focuses on design that is flexible, has maximum usability and can apply to many facets of life. Common examples of universal design include:
