STATEMENT OF ART:In my view it is important not to treat complex issues one-sidedly –or as a challenge that affects merely the social and the health sector. It should be a vital part of the process of normalisation to investigate the topic at the widest possible range of facets. In this context social responsibility and inclusion may come up in several aspects of life, which signifies the necessity to develop an organic interdisciplinary approach. In order to fully accept such a social group, which is invisible for the majority society, design can assume an especially important role. That is, taking into consideration the philosophy of “design for all” in design, based on sociology and in providing accessibility for disabled people. Therefore, both in theory and practice there seem to be a lot of opportunities for design to assume a role in meeting the challenges of people with disabilities. That's my main interest from the contemporary design discourses.
