The World Health Organization (WHO) states that up to 15% of the world’s population, as many as 1 billion people, are living with some form of disability.
In an ideal world, inclusive design thinking would allow us to accommodate every user’s preferences. This can become difficult as we you start to learn more about your users and find many conflicting needs. Your aim then might be to design for a wide range of base needs which aims to benefit as many of your users as possible.
