Inclusive design as a concept really should have broader adoption, it's often difficult to predict who will end up benefiting the most. Curb ramps are a good example, where they got heavily pushed by wheel chair users but end up benefiting a much wider range of users.
As someone who is disabled (wheelchair, walker and quad cane, depending on circumstances), I'm always struck by how invisible those of us who are disabled seem to be in society. Very good article.
This article is a really good reminder. Thanks for posting!
