Technology For All
Teach Access envisions a future where technology is born accessible and inclusive for all. When we say all, we mean all. We know that to realize our vision, we must have a relentless commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all that we do. This commitment means that we are consistently evaluating and challenging systems, practices, and behaviors that uphold oppression such as ableism, racism, sexism, classism, ageism, heterosexism, cisgenderism, and others. Our approach at Teach Access has always been to form and maintain key partnerships to include, collaborate, and bring visibility to the voices and work of historically under-served communities that are disproportionately impacted by the lack of accessible and inclusive technology. We hold ourselves accountable for showing up to our work in a way that contributes to the collective prosperity for all.
