Abstract
Access for Everyone is a user friendly guide on accessibility and design. It is a widely recognized treatise used throughout the country by planning and design professionals, building code officials, educators, and other individuals interested in providing designs that work well for all people. The foundation for the book was laid in the 1990s when Professor Osterberg codirected ISU’s campus wide ADA assessment and recognized the need for an easy to understand reference guide. With the support of ISU’s Facility Planning and Management and the assistance of Donna Kain, who was completing a PhD. in Rhetoric and Communication at the time, Professor Osterberg led an interdisciplinary team of ISU students. The team extensively researched accessibility issues, government documents and other sources to fully understand dimensional requirements, accessibility issues, and the needs of users. Access for Everyone was first published in 2002 and a revised and expanded edition was published in 2005.
