universe is eternal is that it
does not live for itself; it
gives life to others as it
transforms.”

10. The International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) from World
Health Organization (WHO) “acknowledges that every
human being can experience a decrement in health and
thereby experience some degree of disability.
Disability is not something that only happens to a
minority of humanity. The ICF thus „mainstreams‟ the
experience of disability and recognises it as
a universal human experience.”

13. “So long as a web-based
system is inaccessible, it
suffers from quality
problems and we should
focus on quality.”

15. “When universal design
processes fail to
include, consult with, and
listen to the people we are
actually designing for, we
also fail to design
effectively.” – Lisa Herrod
