As increasing numbers of people with disabilities pursue educational opportunities that require computer use, accessibility of computing facilities becomes even more critical. The key is simply equal access. Everyone who needs to use a computer lab should be able to do so comfortably. Accessible labs employ principles of universal design. Universal design means that rather than designing a facility for the average user, the design is appropriate for people with a broad range of abilities so that the facility is usable by people with learning disabilities or visual, speech, hearing, and mobility impairments.
