ACCESSIBILITY.
Accessibility means that people can do what they need to do in a similar amount of time and effort as someone that does not have a disability.
It means that people are empowered, can be independent and will not be frustrated by something that is poorly designed or implemented.
Disability is a public health issue and everyone is likely to face disability in some form in their life. Disability is a human rights issue as the disabled are discriminated and face many barriers.
Disability is a developmental issue, as disability and poverty mutually reinforce each other.
