     side, the E is completed with an infinity symbol for autism rotated 90
     degrees, the first S has three dots in the placement of the braille letter S,
     and the final S has a hand finishing either side of the S representing ASL

Our Experience

After 5 years in the industry, we decided to alter our focus. In recognizing the large gaps in Accessibility on Broadway we have decided to become a group resource available to Venues throughout the country. To date have worked with regional theaters, Broadway venues and educational institutions on how to become truly inclusive.  

Our Approach

Our service includes a comprehensive consult to help identify gaps and opportunities, a detailed report that includes a project plan with timelines and a schedule. We also offer ADA training for your staff and venue to help you become ADA compliant.

Why Us?

When in comes to Inclusion we have found that not only listening to Disabled voices but working with a company run by disabled people makes all the difference. We want to give each venue a comprehensive look at inclusion from the people it directly effects. Together we’ll create and refine your plan for success.
