We collaborate with governments, businesses, and organizations to advocate for physical accessibility improvements, including ramps, curb cuts, accessible parking, and clear signage. Our goal is to ensure that public spaces, workplaces, and recreational areas are navigable and welcoming for individuals of all abilities.
Standard accessible restrooms often fail to meet the needs of individuals who require additional space and equipment. That’s why we advocate for Changing Places restrooms, which include height-adjustable changing tables, hoists, and extra space for caregivers. These essential facilities allow greater independence and dignity for people with complex mobility needs, ensuring that they are not excluded from public spaces due to inadequate restroom facilities.
Every child deserves the opportunity to play, and we are committed to making playgrounds accessible to all. We support the development of inclusive playgrounds featuring adaptive swings, sensory play areas, wheelchair-accessible surfaces, and shade structures. By ensuring that play spaces accommodate a variety of needs, we help foster inclusive environments where children of all abilities can engage, explore, and thrive.
We believe that accessibility should go beyond mere compliance. While we ensure adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other relevant standards, we always strive to exceed these minimum requirements. By implementing principles of Universal Design, we create truly inclusive spaces that accommodate people of all ages, abilities, and needs. Our team assists with designing accessible entrances, seating arrangements, restrooms, and workspaces, ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equal access to goods, services, and employment opportunities.
