Accessible Design for the Blind

Accessible Design for the Blind is committed to making travel safer for
pedestrians with disabilities through research, consultation, education and
advocacy. Its principals have a long history of teaching safe travel and
street crossing techniques to pedestrians who are blind or who have low
vision, many of whom also have cognitive, mobility, or hearing impairments.
Building on this direct service background, they have participated in an
extensive research program designed to make the built environment more
accessible to pedestrians with disabilities.
