Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-PORRERO MIRET, Cristina. Experiences in the intervention with accessible environments to facilitate personal autonomy. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.2, pp.261-268. ISSN 2173-4712.

Accessible and designed for all environments are necessary to live independently and have full participation in social life. The evolution from the concept of architectural barriers to the idea of designing for all has been similar in Spain to other countries. Studies, services and experiences have been successful to prove the necessity of better accessibility in homes, public buildings and webs. Accessibly, usability, quality and sustainability are in a high position in the European and national political agendas, offering good opportunities for new markets and services, new curricula and more creativity for many professionals.

Keywords : Design for All; Usability; Independent Living; Curricula; Rights; Sustainability Creativity.
