Disability Inclusion
Partnering with business to enhance and advance access and inclusion through:
Awareness
Allyship
and
Accessible Practices
Welcome to Raven Sky Consulting!
I am an accessibility professional with more than a decade of experience working to advance disability inclusion beyond compliance through education, allyship and the integration of proactive accessible practices.
My work is centered in the social model of disability and the principles of Universal Design. I am passionate about helping people discover their "why" for embracing this work, and then providing them with the tools and resources to impact change.
Let's start a conversation to identify where you are, explore where you want to be, then develop an actionable plan to get you there.
