Project Proposal

The issue I am examining is the need for universal design in the workplace for those with a disability. I am working with sources that are close studies and first hand accounts mainly. The studies I have gathered provide evidence for how beneficial universal design is, while debunking many of the well known beliefs. I am also using sources that utilize current policies or organizations that help those with disabilities get the help and care that they need in the workplace. The first hand accounts will provide relate-ability as humans and give the readers a first hand look into living life in the eyes of others. My analysis is planning to go in a direction towards statistical evidence, providing numbers and concrete examples of the benefits of universal design. As I already have found sources that reflect a surface to deeper level of analysis, I am looking for sources that provide the counter to my argument or sources that take my analysis deeper. I am also hoping to find sources that contradict the belief in designing for all, or provide barriers that some companies or workplaces may view as being too big to overcome. The audience I am planning to write for is those who have overlooked design in institutions or have not given a second thought to those in need around us.
