Universal design is an approach to the design of environments, communication, services and policies to work well for the widest range of people, taking into consideration the widest range of situations. It is not about “special design” for a particular set of people; rather, it acknowledges that designing for the widest range of users will benefit all users in some way, and often in ways that have been unexpected. In this workshop, participants will learn how trauma-informed practices intersect with universal design.
