MAKING SPACES ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE

Empowering Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging

Above & Beyond With U (A&BWU) helps communities break down barriers of inaccessibility, exclusion, and misunderstanding around the experiences of people with disabilities.

We work alongside organizations, schools, businesses, and public/private entities to create environments where everyone feels welcome, included, and valued.

Above & Beyond With U promotes accessibility through education, training, and advocacy.

Helping communities go above and beyond ADA compliance to become places where all people can participate fully.

Community leaders who are inclusive-minded may be wondering:

How can we make our meeting space more accessible?
How can we adapt our programming so that people experiencing disability can participate?
How can our event be barrier-free and community-centered for all?
How can we adapt our facilities to be welcoming to people of all abilities?

Above & Beyond With U helps organizations become champions of accessibility and belonging through:

Education & Training

Consulting on Universal Design & DEIA Strategies

Amplifying the lived experiences of people with disabilities

Creating partnerships to drive systemic change

Disability is far more common than many realize.

It includes physical, cognitive, sensory, and mental health conditions.

Adapting community programs and building with Universal Design benefits a significant portion of the population.
