On the Move With Computer Savvy Seniors

Universal Design began among people with disabilities but, particularly through the work of AARP in the US and the government in Japan, UD has gained a loyal following among seniors, gerontologists, and gerontechnologists.

If that last word is unfamiliar it just means people who pay special attention to making technology accessible to older adults.

So it is with a sense of satisfaction that I have been welcomed by the young-at-heart gerontechnologists at Computer Savvy Seniors! On occasion I will contribute to the Travel Department of their Computer School for Seniors.

We are pleased that Dr. Scott Rains will be a periodic contributor to our Blog and the Travel Department of Computer School for Seniors
.
Travel for the elderly and people with disabilities can be very challenging. Dr. Rains looks for solutions to those challenges. In particular he searches for examples of how Universal Design creates new travel opportunities and products that are, to quote the definition of Universal Design, usable by the widest range of people operating in the widest range of situations.

Have a loser look at their site.
