Make Accessibility Work For You.

What is accessibility?

Our definition of accessibility:

An ongoing commitment to ensuring everyone can fully and independently use services, navigate spaces (whether digital or physical), and not just participate, but lead.

Serve your community better.

Disability is an identity that can intersect with any other. No matter who you work with, you are bound to work with disabled people. Making your org accessible means you will have more authentic interactions with disabled staff and community members.

Reach more people.

1 in 5 Americans have a disability (CDC). By making your org accessible, you will not only engage more disabled community members, but the friends, family, and colleagues they bring with them!

Tap into our market.

The disabled community in the US has an estimated $175 billion in disposable income, which inaccessible businesses lose out on. Additionally, companies that hire disabled job candidates earn 28% higher revenue and 2x the net income of companies with no disabled employees (Accenture Research).
