This study revises and extends the previously developed Barriers and Accommodations Index (BAI) originally created for the Atlas of Literacy and Disability (2003). The original and two new indices are responses to the need for indicators that place emphasis on social inclusion rather than on the characteristics of individuals. The two new indices are the Degree of Accommodation for Aids & Services index (DAAS) and the Revised Barriers and Accommodations Index (RBAI).
