1b. Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users.

1c. Make provisions for privacy, security, and safety equally available to all users.

1d. Make the design appealing to all users.

■ Power doors with sensors at entrances that are convenient for all users

GUIDELINES

The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.

7a. Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user.

7b. Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user.

7c. Accommodate variations in hand and grip size.

7d. Provide adequate space for the use of assistive devices or personal assistance.

■ Controls on the front and clear floor space around appliances, mailboxes, dumpsters, and other elements

■ Wide gates at subway stations that accommodate all users

GUIDELINES

Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility.

4a. Use different modes (pictorial, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information.

4b. Maximize “legibility” of essential information.

4c. Differentiate elements in ways that can be described (i.e., make it easy to give instructions or directions).

4d. Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations.

■ Tactile, visual, and audible cues and instructions on a thermostat

■ Redundant cueing (e.g., voice communications and signage) in airports, train stations, and subway cars

GUIDELINES

The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities.

5a. Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded.

5b. Provide warnings of hazards and errors.

5c. Provide fail safe features.

5d. Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance. ■ A double-cut car key easily inserted into a recessed keyhole in either of two ways

EQUITABLE USE PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION

TOLERANCE FOR ERROR

FLEXIBILITY IN USE SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE

LOW PHYSICAL EFFORTThe design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.

THE PRINCIPLES WERE COMPILED BY ADVOCATES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN, IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER:

THE PRINCIPLES OF UNIVERSAL DESIGNVersion 2.0 (4/1/97)

The Principles of Universal Design are not intended to constitute all criteria for good design, only universally usable design. Certainly, other factors are important, such as aesthetics, cost, safety, gender and cultural appropriateness, and these aspects must also be taken into consideration when designing.

NOTE:

3a. Eliminate unnecessary complexity.

3b. Be consistent with user expectations and intuition.

3c. Accommodate a wide range of literacy and language skills.

3d. Arrange information consistent with its importance.

3e. Provide effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion.

■ A moving sidewalk or escalator in a public space ■ An instruction manual with drawings and no text
