Question
What is inclusive design?
Answer
Designing one product that works for as many people as possible regardless of age or ability, without a separate special version — covering physical, sensory and cognitive differences.
Question
What question replaces "is this inclusive?"
Answer
"Who does this exclude, and what would let them in?" It produces a specific barrier and a specific design change instead of an opinion.
Question
Why must important feedback use two channels?
Answer
One channel always excludes somebody: a beep fails deaf users and noisy places, a colour change fails colour-blind users and bright sun. Sound plus sight covers both.
Question
Permanent, temporary and situational impairment?
Answer
One arm; a broken wrist for six weeks; holding a toddler. All three need one-handed use, and only the first appears in a disability statistic.
