Product and Service Innovation and Development

Thank the person who invented automated door openers in buildings. Not only was it a convenience and aid for the public, but it also allowed countless people with disabilities to enter buildings with more ease. This in return brought in more business for companies who had not tapped into the disability market.

Sometimes a product or service innovation for people with disabilities comes by accident. Other times it is intentional. For example, if you are reading this through a 21-inch monitor, over 10 years ago, your same monitor would have been considered adaptive technology to computer users with limited vision. As you can see, many people have taken advantage of these user friendly and now mainstream amenities - many of which are now regarded as necessities.
