Accessibility Expertise
CNIB offers unique expertise in producing universally accessible electronic and print communications.
This not only improves people's opportunities for independence and lifelong learning, but serves to advance the participation of all individuals in their communities, and in the global community as a whole.
In addition, we offer design consulting services to enhance accessibility in the built environment and public right of ways.
A universally accessible environment considers all people's abilities, and ensures that it meets the needs of as many people as possible - regardless of a person's ability - without the need for adaptation or specialized equipment.
