Accessibility?
Disabling situations occur due to mismatches between a person’s abilities and the barriers in what they’re interacting with. Many of those barriers are unintended, and unnecessary. Accessibility means avoiding these unnecessary barriers.
How – If considered early enough a great deal can be accomplished. It can seem daunting at first, but most barriers can be addressed through a couple of basic principles.
Get involved – Changing the course of an industry isn’t easy. It comes about through weight of numbers all pushing in the same direction.
Events – A key element of our activities is outreach; efforts to build community and awareness, and share knowledge of good practices.
