Research

CAE pioneered the provision of access guidance for building designers based on collaborative research with disabled people and this remains core to our activities and services.

As a leader in developing the case for designing for disabled people in the context of mainstream inclusive design, our research projects and partnerships in the UK and overseas keep us at the forefront of user-led intelligence and inform all our work and services.

Our projects below are a few of our research work past and present.
