I clearly remember from one of the core classes I had taken that disability is made. For example, if you have visual problems, you can wear glasses. Now, you don’t have any disability. Thus, society has the power to change the discomfort we experience every day. By simply installing ramps instead of stairs, you are making someone undisabled. Everyone has some discomforts in life. Before, contacting someone was very difficult and time-consuming. So, someone invented the telephone to resolve that problem. Until then, people were not able to contact each other easily. I am trying to say that disability is not something special that cannot be resolved. Like the everyday problems we face today, disability can be solved with simple design. That is the power of design.
As the author says, disability inspires design; every single constraint we have in life can be a motivation to make something that can simplify our actions. I believe that design for disability is not a small market that should be ignored but rather a market that can inspire so many good designs for a larger population. As I have said before, we make disability. Every single design can actually solve disability. Just as ramps have replaced steps to aid those who cannot use stairs, various other design innovations can transform daily challenges into seamless activities. This transformative potential of design demonstrates its role not just in accommodating but in enabling and empowering individuals, thus reshaping our understanding of what it means to live with a disability.
