Currently, there is an absence of UD education as a formal component of most engineering, design, public administration, business administration and marketing programs. Accreditation bodies such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) should include UD in their curriculum requirements.

Improvements should not be limited solely to postsecondary degree programs. Business and professional associations should support professional in-service training in UD and accessibility. Educating these groups about the benefits of and techniques for UD will involve incorporating UD concepts and principles in academic curriculum and industry training, and adding UD requirements to the professional accreditation systems. Including UD curriculum in post-secondary education will have a long lasting and systemic effect on the availability of assistive technologies to all American citizens.
