“The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.”

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) from World Health Organization (WHO) “acknowledges that every human being can experience a decrement in health and thereby experience some degree of

disability. Disability is not something that only happens to a minority of humanity. The ICF thus ‘mainstreams’ the experience of disability

and recognises it as a universal human experience.”

“When universal design processes fail to include, consult with, and listen to the people we are actually designing for, we also fail to design effectively.” – Lisa Herrod
