Accessibility Consulting, Training and Advocacy to Support the Independence of People with Disabilities

Welcome. Learn more about how and why to make technology accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Just as ramps, video captions and other accomodations make the world easier for everyone to navigate, accessible technology creates better user experiences for all of us. The potential exists for technology to transform the lives of 55 million Americans with disabilities (750 million worldwide) – IF it is designed accessibly. The tools and techniques are readily available. Knowbility mobilizes communities around the powerful idea of universal access.

Our mission

Knowbility's mission is to ensure barrier-free I.T. - supporting the independence of people with disabilities by promoting the use and improving the availability of accessible information technology.
