[community] Differentiating Accessibility, Universal Design and Inclusive Design

[Peter Pennefather]

Hi Jutta,

My recently graduated PhD student, Fatima Lakha, has developed a framework
for evaluating processes carried out by clinicians in developing care plans
for people experiencing chronic pain. In some ways the development of a
design process. Because her key informants where the pain clinic directors
and not the patients she had no direct access to care outcome results, so
she was careful the distinguish between outcomes driven by the inputs and
the processes and the more immediate outputs of the process of designing
care plans. Keeping that distinction in mind, how about modifying the last
paragraph so that it would be easier to establish whether an inclusive
design process was applied

*The idea is that inclusive design is more than an output of a design
process. It is a systematic approach that guards against the risk that
persons will be excluded(disabled) as a result of the design process
outputs, such as: the set of criteria and constraints specified by the
design, the design process itself, or the direct or indirect impact of the
design.*
