To achieve this, key concepts related to Design for All have been extracted from mostly primary sources, to subsequently categorize the most relevant specific needs of users and exemplify these categories with different design projects.  Finally, some consultation sheets have been created so that designers can verify some basic aspects to make their projects Design for All. In short, it is intended to provide design professionals with a simple consultation tool to make their projects more inclusive, taking into account the great diversity of users.
