Why is accessible design so important?
Given that up to 25% of people have one or more disabilities, the business benefits of accessibility are clear. By prioritizing accessible digital design, you’ll demonstrate your commitment, build brand loyalty, reach more customers and reduce legal risk. What’s more, by designing for people with a range of abilities, you’re actually creating richer, more intuitive and adaptable experiences for everyone.

Why is Perkins different?
Perkins Access is part of the world-renowned Perkins School for the Blind, which has been dedicated to expanding accessibility since 1829. We bring that sense of purpose and optimism to everything we do as we help organizations turn their intentions into reality.
Unlike some accessibility consulting firms, we don’t rely on automated tools or promise “one-and-done” solutions. Our approach is consultative and immersive to bring greater value to our clients.
We believe that live user testing makes a measurable difference.
When you work with Perkins Access, you’ll benefit from our extensive network of native users of assistive technology, thanks to our connection with Perkins School for the Blind. They provide an invaluable window into how people with disabilities experience your website, apps and other digital products — and how to make them better.
