Integration of accessibility in design and quality of access
Good accessibility integrated into all aspects of design benefits everyone. Access matters should be considered early in the design process, and suitable access through the main entrance should be provided to ensure dignity is respected.
The integration of good accessibility in all aspects of design will benefit everyone in society through a better thought out, easier and more accessible environment and the matter should be considered at an early stage in the design process. The quality of such access is just as important as its availability. For example suitable access should be provided for all through the main entrance of a building to ensure that everyone's dignity is respected.
