7.  1: Principle One: Equitable Use  2: Principle Two: Flexibility in Use  3: Principle Three: Simple and Intuitive  4: Principle Four: Perceptible Information  5: Principle Five: Tolerance for Error  6: Principle Six: Low Physical Effort  7: Principle Seven: Size and Space for Approach and Use

8. Principle One: Equitable Use ‣The design can be used by all people equally, despite abilities or disabilities.

9.  The design allows access for users with different abilities and preferences. ◦ NSCC Nursing Assistant Website Demo NSCC Nursing Assistant Website Demo

10. Principle Three: Simple and Intuitive  The design is easy to understand even if the user does not have prior experience with the environment.

13.  Errors should be anticipated and planned for.

14.  Need for physical strength should not be a barrier to participation in an activity or environment.

15.  Maintain room for people of various sizes and mobility to access and environment or activity.

16.  Think of one aspect of your program.  Write down 2 ways you can you apply one of the principles of universal design to that program.  1: Principle One: Equitable Use  2: Principle Two: Flexibility in Use  3: Principle Three: Simple and Intuitive  4: Principle Four: Perceptible Information  5: Principle Five: Tolerance for Error  6: Principle Six: Low Physical Effort  7: Principle Seven: Size and Space for Approach and Use

17.  Group with people not on your campus: ◦ Remind your group of the issue you identified that you want to work on ◦ As a group, brainstorm UD “solutions” to your issues.  Group discussion with your campus: ◦ Share the best ideas your group came up with ◦ Choose one (or more) to implement  Share your implementation plan
