Why it Matters
We believe accessibility is important so that everyone can participate fully. We strive to operate and provide services in an accessible manner that respects the dignity, autonomy, and inclusion of all people.
Recognizing Unique Needs
We recognize that each person is unique and we adopt an intersectional lens in our approach to accessibility. We consider how other characteristics, such as gender identity, 2SLGBTQIA+, language capacity, im/migration status, family status, and income level intersect and affect accessibility needs.
