RSA Inclusive Design Resource
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce (RSA) is collaborating with the Design Council to develop online inclusive design resources for education and business and design professionals. “Inclusive design” is the term used in the UK to describe design for all ages and abilities.  The RSA Inclusive Design Resource is designed as an example of inclusive design and contains information on strategies, tools and methods, together with useful case studies.
