The target group is composed of five major categories:
(a) Wheelchair users
(b) People with limited walking abilities
(c) The sightless
(d) The partially sighted
(e) The hearing and speech impaired
Other categories that may benefit to some extent from the proposed measures include the mentally disabled, people susceptible to physical fits, people with extreme physical proportions, and people with functional disabilities of the arm or hand.
As for the composition and size of the target group, no dependable statistics currently exist to define the extent of disability in our society.
