Captioning may be my new go-to example for #UniversalDesign. As the article notes, *a lot* of people are using them for a variety of reasons:
1. Deaf/hard of hearing
2. Better understanding the content
3. Better understanding accents
4. Watching horror movies at 1 a.m. when the rest of the family is sleeping, and you've got the sound turned down real low.

I visited Pelletstown Train Station at the weekend - this is a great example of compliance with the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law.
To travel the 70m distance from one side of the railway station to the other requires about half a kilometre of ramps and bridges. I wonder was a tunnel ever considered?
Accommodations designed for people with #disabilities often benefit everyone. Examples include captioning, visual instructions, and remote work options, according to a professor of disability studies: https://buff.ly/3CVmteh

Not trying to put words in @axbom's mouth but this on the #JakobNielsen nonsense reminds me of some critiques I've read of #UniversalDesign, arguing that it gets abused as a way of ignoring disabled people.

Universal design is about creating environments and products accessible and usable by all, without the need for adaptation.
It's a vision for the future where inclusivity is the norm.

#introductionpost …because I’m #actuallyautistic and observing and copying the social rules in any environment is my survival technique! Also, I quite like what I see here so far, so I will embrace the #mastodon culture. I’m a #neurodivergent and #disabled doctor (Geriatrician). I am #autistic and #ADHD. Things I love: applying the social model of #disability to solve problems, the #neurodiversity movement, #inclusion and #UniversalDesign.
As a sighted person, I am amazed at how often the alt text tells me about something I didn't see in the picture itself. #UniversalDesign
