Our Vision

Technology has the potential to level the playing field for people with disabilities.

Yet, websites, mobile apps and online content continue to be inaccessible and incompatible with assistive technologies.

We are on a mission to help people with disabilities access these resources and content on an equal basis, and help organizations become more inclusive.
