Access Solutions
Welcome to our Access Solutions Page
At Disability Info South Africa (DiSA), we believe that accessibility is the foundation of inclusion. Without Universal Access, many individuals with disabilities are excluded from opportunities to learn, work, travel, and participate fully in society.
Inclusion is not just about laws and policies, it is about creating accessible environments, awareness and understanding to ensure that everyone can thrive.
To insure inclusion through accessible environments DiSA have identified various pieces of a puzzle we term Access Solutions, to address barriers in the built environment, digital spaces, services, and attitudes.
