A non-profit for accessibility, focusing on engineering based policy
Innovation matters most when it works for everyone.
We work with policymakers to make schematics, infrastructure, and innovations usable by people of all abilities.
Our mission
Accessibility isn't an add-on. It's the foundation.
Accessibility by Design was founded to breed an inclusive society. Too many projects are built without considering the needs of people with disabilities, and we will to change that.
