When we design for disabilities, we make things better for everyone. This is called the Curb-Cut Effect. The term was coined by disability students and activists in the 70s, who added curb cuts to the Berkeley sidewalks to make access easier for those in wheelchairs. They discovered those also helped people with strollers, using trolleys for deliveries, etc.

Illustration of The curb-cut effect: a range of people of all ages next to a crossing, road, and park show how the curb cut design for disabilities benefits everyone.
