The Challenge
Accessibility and inclusion are required—but many organizations face challenges such as:
- Understanding and meeting AODA requirements
- Translating policy into day-to-day practice
- Designing engagement that reaches underrepresented voice
- Managing limited staff capacity and resources
- Demonstrating outcomes to councils, funders, and stakeholders
- A council unsure how to operationalize accessibility requirements
- A team struggling to make digital content accessible
We help bridge the gap between intention, compliance, and meaningful impact.
