Describe direct and indirect discrimination and provide an example of each that may have been faced by a person with disability |

Discrimination against aperson personally (eg. not getting a job over an able bodied person) Indirect discrimination is when there is apractice or condition in place for all people which negatively impacts on aparticular group. This is unreasonable treatment which is less favourable inits impact. (eg. unable to access the front of a building because there is only stairs) |

Describe Universal design |
Designing to ensure inclusion of all people tothe greatest possible extent, regardless of age or ability.

This involves specialised equipment andproducts that are permanently fixed in place and noticeable; seen as aprosthetic. The implications of this is that people with disabilities areviewed as ‘sick’ and dependent on care. As such, people are viewed in terms oftheir dysfunction where little recognition is placed on the person beyond basicself care. |

|
Describe Adaptable design |
Features that can be adjusted to be fullyaccessible offering a greater choice, flexibility, and market appeal toaccommodate the changing needs of people throughout the lifespan. This allowspeople to age in place, remain in the community, and maintain natural supportnetworks. The focus is on performance requirement to enable the ease of adaptation/modification. Adjustments can be creatively made by unskilledlabour and the focus becomes more on safety, climate, flow, affordability, andmost importantly aesthetics. |

|
