It is all about design

Beginning of our story…

Anyone with close family members, as well as friends who move around using a wheelchair, knows how it can be easy to live if the environment is accessible, designed and built according to the principles of universal design and design for all. On the other hand, we know much better how difficult it is to live in an environment full of physical, information, and communication barriers, and especially barriers in people's attitudes.

We founded an association that, besides advocating for removing barriers and building an accessible environment, will work to promote accessibility as a matter of design, not as a disability.

The inability of people with disabilities to be fully included in society is not because they have functional limitations, but because of the obstacles, they face in the physical and digital space, as well as in other people's attitudes towards disability.

The slogan "It is all about design" draws attention to how easy it is to create an environment that is accessible to all people, if the creators of the built environment, information, communications, products, and services, during the design, think about how everyone, or most people, can use what they create.

Not only does such an approach increase profits, but also it makes the world more functional, and equal, and above all, it gives the meaning of existence to each individual, leaving no one behind.

It is equally disturbing when there are accessible toilets that are locked and nobody knows who has the key. Accessible restrooms are usually locked to prevent their use by people who do not need to use them. Actually, it is not known what the bigger problem is. An accessible toilet that is locked or an accessible toilet that is unlocked but soiled by those who can stand and are not forced to sit on the toilet seat.
