The level of inclusion of all its members in the complex of community activities is a fundamental indicator of the progress of a society that wants to be defined as civil and there is a rising awareness about the evidence that diversity and inclusion are linked to positive outcomes. The Universal Design approach is increasingly recognized as the one that helps to shape environments - in terms of physical and virtual environments, as well as buildings, goods and services - so that it can be accessed, understood, and used to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their diversity. Thus, making a more inclusive society for all. This short essay summarizes some reflections resulting from studies, research and field practices reported by literature, and also experienced by the author in her training as a researcher and university professor. Attention is focused in particular on some critical issues and implications inherent in the practical application of UD principles, as well as on the importance of its multidisciplinary dimension, which also entails a different attitude towards the training of professionals.
所有成员在社区活动综合体中的包容程度是一个社会进步的基本指标，这个社会希望被定义为文明的，并且越来越意识到多样性和包容性与积极的结果有关。通用设计方法越来越被认为是一种有助于塑造环境的方法——无论是在物理和虚拟环境，还是在建筑、商品和服务方面——以便所有人，无论其多样性如何，都能够尽可能地访问、理解和使用它。从而为所有人创造一个更加包容的社会。这篇短文总结了一些从文献中报道的研究、调查和实地实践中得出的思考，同时也是作者作为研究人员和大学教授的培训经验。本文特别关注 UD 原则实际应用中固有的一些关键问题和影响，以及其多学科维度的重要性，这也需要对专业人员的培训采取不同的态度。
