We understand different needs
What is accessibility? It’s ensuring that the things people depend on throughout their daily lives are usable regardless of whether a person has a disability. Statistics show that more than 1 billion people worldwide have a disability or an access need.
Accessibility is about making sure that everyone can partake in what the world has to offer. It's about all of us.

Finding an unexpected way to the top
A young, blind entrepreneur has tackled the hurdles of rock climbing using a popular building toy to create a tactile map.
