The Institute for Design and Disability
IDD was established in 1991 following the European Conference on Design for Disability held in Dublin in 1989. The objective of the IDD is to promote the inclusion in society of people with disabilities through the exercise of good design. It has a membership of architects, designers, rehabilitation professionals and people with disabilities and is based in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
The
Institute is a registered charity recognised by the Revenue Commissioners.
IDD is governed by its Constitution and directed
by a Board of Directors. The members of the
Board are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting of the
company.
