4.3	1	Main Goal of inclusive design: make system accessible and usable to as many people as (reasonably) possible
	2
	3	How to achieve this:
	4	* consider disabilities already in your design process
	5	* optimize the system for the specific user with specific needs
	6	* for evaluation broaden the participant group: diverse, great variety
4.4	7	What to avoid:
	8	* make assumptions about your users (using stereotyping, patronising attitudes and/or language, stigmatizing and incorrect terminology)
	9	instead: ask people how they like to be referred to
	10	* design and test with "healthy users" (only university students)
	11	instead: involve people from target group eg. by doing a focus group/ mutual learning or design workshops, involve them from earliest stages
	12	consider effort, that is time consuming and the specialised knowledge that the design requires.
4.3	13
4.4	14	Different kind of disability grouped by their frequency in occurrence:
4.3	15	1. Permanent: Cognitive disability
	16	1. Temporary: Learning, drugs, distress
	17	1. Situational: Interruption, distraction
	18
4.4	19	disabilities grouped by their cause:
	20	1. perceptual
	21	blind, deaf, partially sighted --> use close captioning, support for screenreaders
	22	1. motor
	23	limited or no use of limb(s), use of mobility assistance --> provide physical accessibility (eg. no stairs)
	24	1. cognitive
	25	dementia, down syndrome, autism, neurodiversity --> communication needs and preferences
	26	1. social and economic factors
	27	money, culture, environment --> affordable design, fit in life and environment
	28
	29
4.3	30	Accessibility
	31	* is related to usability
	32	* all users should have equivalent experience
	33	* inclusive design also beneficial to all users
	34	* universal design
4.4	35
4.3	36	Different kind of access:
	37	1. direct
	38	system is accessible without assistance
	39	1. indirect
	40	system is accessible with an EXISTING assistive technology (e.f. screen readers)
	41
3.1	42	Inclusive design addresses:
4.1	43	* Social aspects (e.g., manners)
	44	* Cognitive processes (e.g., memory)
	45	* Affective processes (e.g., trust)
	46	* Perceptual/ motor skills (e.g., tremor)
	47

4.4	50	VESSEL support
4.1	51

4.4	53	Exoskeleton design
