Foundation programs

Programs designed around access that leads somewhere.

The Foundation’s program direction centers on practical learning, accessible technology, creative opportunity and pathways that can help participants build skills, independence and future options.

Programs in development

Accessible Tech Lab

Training and public resources focused on assistive technology, screen readers, mobile accessibility, accessible software and inclusive digital workflows.

Build Without Barriers

Beginner-friendly software, web, app-development and digital-skills education designed with accessibility built into the learning process.

Creative Access

Accessible music production, audio, digital media and creative-technology education that gives participants practical tools for expression and creation.

Mentor Network

Structured connections with developers, accessibility professionals, educators, creators and other qualified mentors who can help participants understand real-world pathways.

Open Resources

Accessible guides, templates, learning materials and digital resources intended to be useful regardless of geography.

Accessibility by Example

Demonstration projects showing how websites, apps, media and educational materials can include people from the beginning rather than through retrofits.

Program standards

Launch carefully, measure honestly.

Programs must further the Foundation’s charitable and educational purposes.
Programs remain subject to Board approval, available funding, accessibility review and legal or regulatory requirements.
Programs involving minors or vulnerable participants should use appropriate safeguarding and communications controls before launch.
Impact reporting should distinguish verified outcomes, estimates and participant-reported outcomes.

Current status: these are program frameworks in development, not a representation that every program is presently accepting participants.

Who the programs are meant for

The frameworks are designed with people facing barriers created by disability, cost, inaccessible technology or limited opportunity in mind. They are also meant to help educators, developers and creators learn how to include people from the start.

How a program is planned to launch

Design: the Chief Programs Officer and Board define goals, audience and safeguards.
Accessibility review: materials and tools are tested with screen readers and other assistive technology.
Approval: the Board approves scope, budget and any partnerships.
Pilot: a small first run, with feedback collected respectfully.
Report: results are published on the Impact page using honest labels.

Planned, not yet in operation: no program is currently accepting participants.

The mobile app

The Foundation’s mobile app is in review on Google Play, and the iOS version is in development. The app is part of the Foundation’s accessibility-first approach, and details will be shared here as it becomes available.
