About
The Alliance’s mission is to advance Inclusive Design as an approach to eliminating barriers in the built environment for all groups and individuals traditionally underrepresented in design. This approach includes designing spaces, products, and systems that are inclusive across race, culture, gender identity, age, disability, neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+ identity, socioeconomic status, and other aspects of human diversity.
The Alliance mission consists of five central aims:
01
Continue to counteract ableist design
02
Advance Inclusive Design for all marginalized and underrepresented groups and individuals
03
Increase Inclusive Design adoption through policymaking, education, and awareness
04
Expand project typologies for Inclusive Design
05
Convene and grow an “alliance” of multidisciplinary experts and practitioners
These working aims will be addressed through the following key areas of work:
Research
Project / Subject Matter Consulting
Policy and Advocacy
Dissemination / Raising Awareness
Academic Curriculum Development
