Possible World

Creating an accessible experience means creating an inclusive experience. It means that people with various abilities and disabilities can independently engage with you and your business—making it an important part of your diversity, equity and inclusion planning.

Bring to the table win-win survival strategies and it can be done efficiently when you begin with an open mind and trust the experts. That includes listening to people who live with disabilities when identifying and resolving barriers, rather than guessing. It can also be as simple as a willingness to ask, “how can I help you?”

We have more than eight years experience advocating for accessibility, in partnership with people living with disabilities. This includes providing consulting services to public, private and not-for-profit organizations—proactive organizations with a desire for improvement and growth. Our knowledge of provincial and federal legislation, best practices and disability culture means you don’t need to develop that unique expertise in-house in order to be successful.

Accessibility isn’t just good business to us. Possible World founder and accessibility consultant Jennifer Sande is inspired by personal experience, a strong sense of social justice and a burning desire for inclusion.

“I had an uncle who had moderate cerebral palsy. He never left home because people believed he couldn’t. He was treated as a charity case. He had a lot to offer and was never given the chance to participate fully in the community.

“Years later, seeing how people like him are now achieving independence with a little bit of support, I have no doubt my uncle could have successfully lived independently. I can also see that his exclusion wasn’t only his loss.

“I believe we are only scratching the surface of the untapped abilities and wisdom people with differences can contribute to society.”
