El diseño universal es un mito. Eso afirma Joe Clark (autor del primer libro de accesibilidad que leí hace ya muchos años) en este artículo, con el que estoy muy de acuerdo.

Algunas ideas que comenta:

• Whenever anyone uses the term universal design or inclusive design, they only ever mean “design accessible to disabled people.” And they only ever mean some disabled people.
• There’s real design and then there’s universal design. Designers create the real object, and then, in rare cases, bolt on a bit of accessibility afterwards. There are, in practice, almost no designers anywhere who engage in genuine universal design, save for certain elite Web developers.
• Research confirms that universal design just means accessible design, if it means anything.
• The attested statements of designers themselves show that so-called universal design is just for disabled people, often limited to one specific group of disabled people.
