Are you a business or organization looking to improve the accessibility of your facilities? We can help.
The Council for Persons with Disabilities is pleased to offer its Community Accessibility Evaluation Program to local businesses and organizations wishing to enhance accessibility at their location.
Using an experiential approach, the program is intended to enable a better understanding of challenges associated with accessibility in the built environment, and to identify and recommend simple, practical and cost-effective solutions.
The Community Accessibility Evaluation will provide a comprehensive perspective on how to make your building as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
What We Do
A two-person team of lived experience experts will visit your workplace and perform a comprehensive walk-through to evaluate its current accessibility including entrances, stairways, elevators, ramps, washrooms, lighting, transit, and signs.
You will receive a full report that will identify simple, practical, cost-effective and easy-to-implement solutions to accessibility challenges in your workplace.
