A big part of the design world is designing for the disabled or impaired. There are multiple types of impairments hearing, learning, visual, mobility, etc… In 1990 the ADA stated “Reasonable Accommodations,” this meet that designers must provide equally accessible buildings, services, and public areas to all people with disabilities in an incorporated manner. Over the years architects and designers have had to create things to aid the impaired. In my opinion this is a huge area for improvement just like there is in the medical field for designers. In the future universal design will expand to just about everything. All cars will be able to pick up wheel chairs from the ground, steps will become obsolete, and there will be so many options for customization in everyday living.
