This is a pretty neat tool to know about because it assess the physical features of an environment. It really aims to look at if people can carry out the intended task in the community with relative ease. The survey looks at mobility, vision, and hearing challenges.

"We cannot afford to let the issue of disabilities be simply an afterthought. We have a unique opportunity now, as industry pours billions of dollars into upgrading the communications infrastructure, to make sure that people with disabilities are not left behind. Now is the time. Accessibility of services and products for all Americans has got to be a design feature, not an add-on."
