Inclusive Product Design (IPD):

Iain McKinnon Access Consultants also provide inclusive product design services. Examples can be viewed on our IPD page.

As with the built environment, the needs of disabled and older people can be overlooked during product design development. We draw on our knowledge and experience to ensure that new products are developed in a way that is easy and comfortable to use by everyone regardless of disability or age. This is an increasingly important issue living in an aging population.
