User-Sensitive Inclusive Design
Also known as: USID
A design methodology that adapts user-centered design principles for contexts where the target user population is highly diverse and where individual differences — including those related to disability — are significant design factors. Unlike Universal Design which aims for single solutions that work for everyone, User-Sensitive Inclusive Design acknowledges that truly universal solutions may not always be achievable and instead emphasizes deep sensitivity to individual user characteristics, preferences, and social identities throughout the design process.
