Disability Advocacy

ADA accessibility standards use specific measurements — doorway widths, ramp slopes, turning radii. A basic tape measure lets you conduct a real audit against published ADA standards rather than just eyeballing spaces.

Accessibility audits mean walking through buildings with checklists, photos, and notes simultaneously. A clipboard with a built-in compartment keeps your ADA checklist, pen, and observation notes together and organized.

Spending a few hours navigating your school or neighborhood in a manual wheelchair makes inaccessible design viscerally real — many advocates say this single experience changed how they saw every ramp, curb, and doorway.
