- Title
Human-centered Design to Address Ageism and Ableism in Rural America.
- Authors

- Abstract
Despite the abundance of older people--many with disabilities--living in them, rural communities in the United States are not prepared to care for elders' needs. Elders and people with disabilities in rural communities face structural barriers to vital resources like healthy food, medical care, and transportation. This article explores how a human-centered design (HCD) process can circumvent entrenched ageism and ableism to yield creative solutions that positively impact everyone in a community, using the successful roll-out of a healthy food initiative in Wilkesboro, NC, as a case study.
