Knowbility

Knowbility's mission is to create an inclusive digital world for people with disabilities. Our Community Programs and Accessibility Services teach, train, and promote inclusive and accessible design across sectors and industry. We help make the internet and other technologies accessible to people who are blind, visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, have mobility constraints, or have cognitive or learning disabilities. Our goal is to create a barrier-free world of information technology so that people with disabilities can fully participate in the business, educational, and cultural marketplace and reach their full potential. Through education, awareness, and advocacy, we work to ensure equal access to technology for the over one billion disabled people around the world. Knowbility's team of experts is internationally recognized for its role in helping to create the worldwide standard for web accessibility implementation and training. As a result, the organization is a preeminent source for guidance in meeting government and international accessibility standards. Since its founding in 1999, Knowbility has worked with thousands of community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, local and regional educational entities, government agencies and corporations throughout the world. Knowbility has guided the creation of more than 1,000 accessible websites, meeting the highest accessibility standards and has trained thousands of corporate and government agency personnel in best practices in accessibility.
