Cultural Understanding of Accessibility

Language justice: offering clear, plain English for those with cognitive access needs
-
Honoring diverse ways of knowing: through visual, auditory, and embodied content
-
Accessible healing: offering free or low-cost online workshops to remote communities
We understand that accessibility is ongoing work and we welcome feedback with open arms and hearts.
