"Universal design is the process of creating products that are accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, disabilities, and other characteristics. Universally designed products accommodate individual preferences and abilities; communicate necessary information effectively (regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities); and can be approached, reached, manipulated, and used regardless of the individual's body size, posture, or mobility. Application of universal design principles minimizes the need for assistive technology, results in products compatible with assistive technology, and makes products more usable by everyone, not just people with disabilities."

As we move into this episode, listen to Natasha and I explore the way we use the Principles of Universal Design to help us build a culture of belonging and social emotional inclusion for a classroom in Ferguson, Missouri. We also explore how all people working with humans can use Universal Design to help them navigate around issues around equity and diversity in any space where humans gather, in person and virtually.
