Accessibility & Inclusion
Considered the largest minority group, over 41 million Americans have a disability. They include those with physical, developmental, psychological, and intellectual disabilities. Diagnoses encompass everything from Crohn’s Disease to bipolar disorder; autism to dyslexia; spinal cord injuries to vision loss. Some disabilities are visible while others aren’t. Thus, there is no one ‘look’ to someone with a disability.
They serve as teachers, caretakers, parents, soldiers returning from active duty, and community leaders. They’re queer, BIPOC, trans, homeless, and undocumented, and they represent all ages, genders, creeds, classes, and geographies. Simply put – disability is ubiquitous.
A single barrier, whether physical or communicative, can hinder valuable engagement, investment, and support with Disabled constituents, donors, voters, and volunteers. Further, outdated or euphemistic representation of disability can cause significant harm and loss of trust, ostracizing a community and its allies.
We provide targeted training in access and inclusion best practice ensures that organizations are proactively removing barriers to full participation from the start – not as an afterthought. “Safe space”, constructive training builds capacity and results in authentic, accessible, and affirming inclusion of Americans with disabilities.
