I feel like this is very important and needed because no matter what, everyone, including people with disabilities need to have access at a grocery store.

This resource has a lot of information but it is laid out in a very understandable way. The pictures of current issues in grocery check stand show what the problem is that needs to be addressed. Then it gives a reminder of the principles of UD as well as ADA and OSHA guidelines, followed by solutions with picture examples.

"...Even though I was flunking English because I couldn't spell; in my high school year book under ambitions I had written 'Author'. When I went off to college I ran into a guy at the University of Oregon named Ralph Salisbury who was my first creative writing instructor and he turned all the lights on for me. He was the first teacher in all my years who actually said I had talent. Some people don't know this, but I have dyslexia."
