Why Work With Us?

​Our team includes professionals with different disabilities who understand the nuances of accessibility. 

We work with you every step of the way to create strategies that fit your organization's goals and values. Our aim to give you the knowledge and support you need to start and keep important accessibility initiatives.

Why Accessibility Matters

Accessibility isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a powerful way to demonstrate your commitment to community and belonging. When businesses and organizations proactively remove barriers, they not only open their doors to more customers, clients, and employees, and also create environments where everyone can thrive.

Our services help you go beyond compliance to build welcoming, functional, and inclusive spaces for all. By working with Access to Independence, you benefit from real-world expertise rooted in lived experience—and you show that accessibility is not an afterthought, but a core value.

​Access to Independence has been empowering people with disabilities to live full and independent lives for 47 years.

 

We utilize the expertise that comes from being south-central Wisconsin’s only disability-run, and cross-disability organization to help your business or event become fully inclusive to people with disabilities.

Web Accessibility Statement 

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Access to Independence is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Access to Independence is currently working with an independent website auditor to ensure we become fully WCAG 2.1 level AA compliant.
