Access for Everyone

 

About the publication...

For the past thirteen years Arvid Osterberg has directed a team of graduate students who have extensively researched accessibility issues. The interdisciplinary team conducted detailed reviews of government documents and other sources including research studies and accessibility standards and guidelines.

Access for Everyone was first published in 2002. This revised and expanded edition includes references to the latest ADAAG which was made available to the public in 2004, new and improved illustrations, and many additional recommendations based on universal design principles. A new referencing system will help the reader sort out the complex standards and understand what has been added and what has been modified in the latest ADAAG requirements.
