In short, you are designing something for everyone, not something that is used only by people who have disabilities. Ratzka, a person with quadriplegia, is an international advocate on personal assistance and other disability issues. Ratzka spoke passionately about how an inhospitable environment seriously hampers his being a caring and supportive father to his young daughter. One other noted contrast between this year's conference and the one held two years was a substantial increase in the level of interest in Universal Design among U.S. manufacturers. Universal Design advocates around the world will be waiting to see what they are able to do with it when they go back to their companies.
