Community

Advocating for inclusion, fostering engagement, and improving accessibility for all.

Accessibility Reviews

Make your space more accessible—with purpose and impact. Our Accessibility Reviews go beyond ADA checklists to incorporate Universal Design, helping you create environments that are functional, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone. From walk-throughs to plan reviews, we deliver smart, actionable recommendations that support your mission and expand your reach.

Test Pilot Program

Our Test Pilots—community members with disabilities—partner with us to evaluate public spaces, businesses, and events from lived experience. Their feedback helps drive real improvements in accessibility and inclusion. This collaborative approach ensures that the people most impacted are directly shaping a better, barrier-free future.

Inclusion & Accessibility Trainings

Build a more inclusive workplace with our highly rated accessibility and inclusion trainings. Tailored to your organization’s needs, our sessions provide practical tools and insights on disability etiquette, language, ableism, and creating welcoming environments.

Absolutely Accessible Kent Program

Absolutely Accessible Kent is more than a workshop—it is a movement for inclusive design in West Michigan and beyond. This annual event brings together national experts, local leaders, and community members to explore innovation in accessibility through keynotes and CEU-accredited sessions.

Veteran's Support

Veterans deserve the freedom to choose how they live and who supports them. Through our Veteran-Directed Care program, veterans with disabilities can hire caregivers, manage their own care budgets, and remain independent in their own homes. We are here to help each veteran reclaim control, dignity, and direction in their care journey.

Emily

This is an awesome much needed organization, they came through once again when I was down with this broken, shaking, scary walker that was on its last leg, now I can get around with a brand new one with confidence. Thank goodness for Disability Advocates of Kent County and Ms. Renee, you are the best.
