Access for Everyone is a campaign led by local individuals to ensure everyone has the ability to actively work, play, and live in our community.
This grassroots movement advocates for universal accessibility and provides solutions to break down the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating in our community.
Disability experts provide insightful training to individuals, businesses, property management and organizations about disability decorum and inclusive environments.
