Organizations call you to make their workplaces, products, or services actually accessible — assessing barriers, advising on accommodations, and translating disability law into practical change. Where compliance becomes genuine inclusion.
The work means assessing accessibility, recommending accommodations and advising on the law — for employers, agencies, or product teams. You move between audits, meetings, and reports, often educating people who mean well but don't know how. The craft is practical, not just legal — a compliant solution that doesn't actually work misses the point entirely.
What's harder than people expect is influence without authority — you recommend, but others decide whether to act. Budgets and inertia push back, progress can be slow, and you're often the lone voice for accessibility in the room. Settings vary from consulting firms to in-house roles, which shapes your leverage and your pay.
It fits someone knowledgeable, persuasive, and genuinely committed to inclusion. If you need quick wins or hate diplomacy, the role can frustrate. But if you find meaning in making the world more usable for people who've been shut out — one workplace or product at a time — the work tends to feel genuinely worthwhile.
