Absolutely Accessible Kent

June 14, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The fifth annual Absolutely Accessible Kent event takes place as part of a larger program aimed at making West Michigan a more accessible community. Our team provides accessibility reviews for organizations and workplaces. Volunteer test pilots examine spaces and provide feedback on user-friendliness. By joining us on June 14, you can be part of making Kent County absolutely accessible!

Wins in our 5-Year Journey

We have partnered with Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. to make downtown increasingly accessible. Our volunteer “test pilots” – people with disabilities – have covered miles of downtown routes, advocating for improved accessibility.

Community Education

Community Education Specialist Jon Cauchi is available for presentations on understanding and accommodating disability as simply a natural part of human diversity – adding accessibility to your DEIA efforts.

Accessibility Reviews

Accessibility Specialist Jackson Botsford is available to perform accessibility reviews to make your workplace go beyond mere ADA compliance and benefit from Universal Design principles. Recent partnerships include the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, John Ball Zoo, Grand Rapids Public Museum, Calvin University, and Gazelle Sports.
