Crip Care partners with organizations, businesses, and community groups to identify barriers and develop practical, disability-informed strategies for creating more welcoming and accessible spaces, events, and programs.
Our consultations are rooted in collective access, interdependence, cross-disability and cross-movement solidarity, and the lived expertise of Disabled community members. We provide practical, achievable recommendations that increase access for a wide range of Disabled people and others with diverse access or care needs. Our services are intended to support accessibility planning and do not constitute legal compliance reviews.
We offer consultation on topics including:
Community events and conferences
Workshops, meetings, and trainings
Physical spaces and accessibility walkthroughs/wheelthroughs
Event registration and communication
Disability-inclusive policies and practices
Low-sensory and sensory-friendly environments
COVID-safer event planning
Interpretation, CART captioning, and other communication access planning
Wheelchair accessibility and seating layouts
Accessibility information for attendees
General disability inclusion and best practices
Every consultation is tailored to your organization's goals, budget, and community.
A conversation to understand your needs
Review of event plans, documents, or communications
Virtual or on-site accessibility walkthroughs (when available)
Practical recommendations for improving access
Written summaries or accessibility reports upon request
Our goal is to help you identify barriers and make practical changes that create more accessible and welcoming spaces, programs, and events.
Accessibility is about more than meeting a checklist or minimum requirements. Meaningful access comes from listening to Disabled people, recognizing that disability and access needs look different for everyone, and building inclusion into the planning process from the beginning.
Our recommendations are shaped by Disability Justice principles, universal design practices, and the lived experiences of disabled people with a range of access needs.
Crip Care provides community-based accessibility consultation. We do not provide legal advice, building code inspections, architectural or engineering services, or certify compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other laws. Our recommendations are intended to help organizations improve accessibility and inclusion, not to serve as legal or regulatory determinations.
We believe accessibility should be available to organizations of all sizes.
Consultations are offered on a sliding-scale basis. Rates vary depending on the size of your organization, the scope of the project, and whether a site visit is requested. We strive to keep our services affordable for grassroots organizations and mutual aid groups.
