Final Project
Enable
Enable is a nationwide initiative supported by the UK Government, which seeks to empower and improve the lives of people with disabilities.
Enable’s approach revolves around raising public awareness and offering empowering services to individuals with disabilities.
Disability Awareness in Schools
Enable provides educational resources to schools throughout the UK, incorporating disability awareness into the curriculum with engaging activities and lessons that promote a positive view of disabilities.
Public Awareness Campaigns
Enable will also shed light on disabilities to able-bodied members of the public to create empathy and understanding, making them more considerate to those around them.
The Enable App
The launch of an app will allow individuals with disabilities to identify locations suited to their needs, plan accessible journeys, giving them independence and freedom of choice while preventing them from encountering unexpected obstacles.
Wheelchair Design Competition
Each year Enable will organise a competition for children to submit their wheelchair designs. Using the ‘Design a Wheelchair’ activity sheet from the educational resource pack, the most imaginative designs, no matter how unconventional, will be constructed in real life and displayed in public places nationwide.
‘Design a Wheelchair’ Activity
This activity is designed to inspire children to think creatively about how specialised aids can empower and assist individuals with disabilities, challenging the idea that they are negative or limiting.
‘The Public Inconvenience’
Less than 50% of the UK’s toilets are accessible, and 78% of people with disabilities avoid public spaces they’re not certain has an accessible loo.
This campaign offers a unique simulation installation experience designed to educate able-bodied members of the public about just some of the barriers people with disabilities encounter on a daily basis. By providing a firsthand experience that mirrors these challenges, the campaign aims to create a deeper level of empathy and understanding among participants.
Seemingly normal public toilets will appear in town centres across the UK. However, they have been altered to mimic some of the barriers that wheelchair users and people with disabilities face in their daily lives.
The user will enter the public restroom, initially thinking nothing of it. However, as they progress further, their frustration builds as they encounter narrow winding corridors, cramped stalls, high steps, and sinks and mirrors that are unnaturally tall.
The Enable App
The Enable app empowers individuals with disabilities to explore new, accessible locations with confidence and independence. Users can acquire valuable information about the accessibility of these places through photos and reviews, save locations to create inclusive travel itineraries, and even book accessible transportation options.
Grading System
Under the proposed system, it becomes obligatory for all public venues and establishments to upload their accessibility data, which will then be evaluated using the Enable grading system. Enable will conduct audits and address any issues flagged through negative reviews, ensuring continuous improvement in accessibility standards.
