Universal Design
Universal design is the design of products and environments that can be used and experienced by people of all ages and abilities to the greatest extent possible, without adaptations.
(Iwarsson & Stahl, 2003; http://mile.mmu.edu.my/)

Universal Design Principles
1. Equitable Use
e.g. Benches of varying heights
2. Flexibility in Use
e.g. an ATM that has visual, audio and tactile feedback
3. Simple and Intuitive Use
e.g. motion sensor taps
4. Perceptible Information
e.g. an instruction manual with picture instructions instead of text
5. Tolerance for Error
e.g. temperature controlled water
6. Low Physical Effort
e.g. Automatic doors
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
e.g. Wide entrances, hallways and doorways
(Follette, 1998)

OT’s working in Architecture
1. Dual qualification
2. Collaborate with Architects
3. Advocacy
(Access Homes, 2014; OT Dynamics, 2014 O’ Brien Harrop Access, 2014)

What OT’s bring to Architectural Design
Knowledge of:● Home
modifications● Funding available● Assistive
technology● Conditions &
illness● The natural aging
process
We also have:● Skills in advocacy ● A holistic view● The ability to identify
barriers and enablers ● A practical
framework to consider PEO fit over the lifespan
(Ainsworth & de Jonge, 2006)

Home Modifications
Universal design principles can be used when implementing home modifications;
● Useful to all members of the household.● Aesthetically pleasing.● Suit the clients needs now, and the future.
(Ainsworth & de Jonge, 2006)

Case Study
You are an OT consulting for a building company who are currently designing a retirement village in Hervey Bay. They have employed you to consult on this project.
1. Consider key factors influencing your recommendations.
2. Give examples of the design principles within your recommendations.
