The work of the Delta Centre concerns how the use of assistive technology and adaptation of the environment together yields a better standard of living for persons with disabilities. Our vision is participation and accessibility for all. The objective is that disabled people should have the same opportunities as others to participate in an active way in society.
Universal design
In the Delta Centre`s work to remove disabling barriers in society, the
concept of universal design is vital. Universal design means to develop
goods, services and the physical environment in such a way that all people,
to the largest possible extent, can participate in society without any need
for special equipment, adaptation or assistance.
Main activities
The Delta Centre conduct developmental activities as basis for counselling and
information. We initiate research and development projects to compile data
and develop expertise. Main activities include gathering and disseminating
knowledge on what yields or prevents accessibility for persons with
disabilities. We co-operate with professional bodies, user organisations,
research institutes and private enterprises.
