Our Approach
ACCESSforALL takes a progress-oriented approach to accessibility remediation. We take pride in guiding our clientele toward creating a disability-friendly world, one step at a time. We work creatively with the available resources and needs of our clients to create inclusive solutions to ensure equitable experiences for all your visitors.
Our customizable selection of services is designed to be adaptable to the unique needs and challenges of your organization. We go beyond compliance with physical accessibility best practices and assist our clients in meeting digital accessibility standards and developing events, programs, and communications that are inclusive of neurodiverse audiences.
Accessibility initiatives benefit everyone, regardless of ability.
Audits
Our Accessibility Audit is a comprehensive review of your current facilities, programs, digital assets, and communications to ensure you are in compliance with current federal accessibility law and community best practices. This will include one-on-one interviews with staff and stakeholders to learn about current initiatives, goals, competencies, and concerns. At the end of our audit, we will deliver a detailed accessibility report, complete with any suggested areas for remediation.
Consulting
Our Accessibility Consulting service provides assistance and guidance throughout the year as you develop your accessibility resources, ensuring you are hitting your goals and that new programs or initiatives remain inclusive of audiences with disabilities. With monthly checkpoints and on-call availability to review current and upcoming initiatives, we are able to address any concerns or questions you might have in real time.
Professional Development
Our professional development seminars function as an opportunity to gain new understanding and skill sets to improve accessibility in their work. Participants will leave confident and empowered with the knowledge of how to incorporate inclusion into their professional practice.
Programming
Our selection of plug-and-play Accessibility Programming is designed to engage audiences of all ages through hands-on experiences. Our programs educate and empower audiences as accessibility ambassadors and advocates through creative workshops, community building exercises, and roundtable discussions.
Strategic Planning
Our Accessibility Strategic Planning process develops our audit into a multi-year accessibility plan, with clear action items to improve your organization’s inclusion initiatives. We will work with your organization’s budget to propose creative solutions to meet your accessibility goals using readily available resources. At the end of the process, we will share a comprehensive calendar that you can use for planning, budgeting, and executing a list of prioritized action items.
Workshops
Our Accessibility Workshops feature bespoke training plans for your team to improve their knowledge and skill set, building confidence and competence when working with the disability community. With a focus on visitor services and audience communications, our workshops ensure your staff and volunteers are able to make each and every guest experience the best it can be.

The Business Benefits of Accessibility
Build a Better Business
Prioritizing accessibility is good for business. Companies that have led on key disability inclusion criteria saw 1.6 times more revenue, 2.6 times more net income, up to 2 times more economic profit than other companies, and are more likely to outperform industry peers in productivity by 25% (Accenture, 2023). Businesses that invest in accessibility improvements see an estimated $100 return for every $1 invested (Bureau of Internet Accessibility, 2024).
Expand Your Audience
25% of American adults have a disability, and 50% of disabled people face barriers to accessing content and products (CDC, Forbes, 2024). Enable your business to reach larger and more diverse audiences by building accessibility and inclusion into your daily practices, and making it an essential part of your mission.
Testimonials

“ACCESSforALL’s simulation of potential situations increased our knowledge and heightened our compassion for our patients with special needs and their caregivers. Thank you for making a difference in this world, and in our lives as well!”

“Our student and teachers both learned to identify ableist language and left with understanding that not all disabilities are visible. Knowing more about ableism allows us to now be more mindful when working or even thinking of others. We will definitely bring this awareness forward."
Liz Bertsch, The Hayground School.
