Building a business today means designing for the future. Come learn about the basics of universal design for a competitive edge in the expanding digital economy.

A lack of societal incentives for the increased inclusion of those with disabilities aggravates the digital disability divide. Government initiatives in regulating accessibility standards and providing support programs are crucial in empowering people with technology to reduce the digital disability divide. The role of assistive technology is to overcome the gap between what people with disabilities want to do and what the existing social infrastructure allows them to do.

Despite legislative requirements, there are definite economic growth benefits. The business benefits are proven; stronger leadership and more productive employees, more effective talent recruitment, more innovative products and use of new technology, stronger customer relationships and a better overall reputation. But more importantly, including the disabled sector, you will also gain customer loyalty from their colleagues, friends, and family members, in which they have influence.
