“Universal Design is a waste of time; only wheelchair users like ramps.” Photo at Toledo, Spain’s grand cathedral proves ableist designers wrong. Upwards of 10 young non-disabled people preferring a narrow ramp while ignoring wide stairs. #ableism #UniversalDesign #DesignForAll

“Accessibility is not something we add to a website. It’s something we start with, and risk losing with every change we make.” - Vitaly Friedman Too often, accessibility is treated like a checklist at the end of the design process.

A powerful visual of the Social Model of Disability. On one side, a person using a wheelchair moves freely along a smooth, accessible path surrounded by others. There’s a ramp, clear signage, and an environment designed with inclusion in mind. The focus isn’t on limitation - it’s on participation. On the other side, the another person using a wheelchair is stopped by a set of stairs, blocked by “No Access” and exclusionary barriers. Nothing about the individual has changed. Only the environment has. That contrast is the point. Disability is not created by a person’s condition - it is created by barriers in society. When we design inclusively, people are not “limited.” When we don’t, exclusion is built in. Accessibility isn’t about fixing people. It’s about removing barriers so everyone can fully participate. #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion #InclusiveDesign #UniversalDesign #SocialModelOfDisability #AccessibilityMatters #Inclusion #BarrierFree #AccessibilityAwareness #DesignForAll #DigitalAccessibility #BuiltEnvironment #RemoveBarriers #EquityAndInclusion

ability is never a barrier to opportunity. Universal design is not a compromise. It is a commitment to dignity, independence, and innovation for all. #UniversalDesign #Accessibility #DesignForAll #FAMEFoundation #HerSTEM
