Community

At AT&T, we understand that accessibility is more than a word; it’s a commitment to connect people to the world around them.

Through the AT&T Advisory Panel on Access and Aging (AAPAA), we work to better understand what actions can be taken to improve inclusion for people with disabilities.

We also partner with various organizations that are advancing inclusion, including Disability: IN, National Organization on Disability, Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the American Foundation for the Blind.
