What We Do

Accessibility

Creating inclusive environments that improve access, independence, and everyday usability.
Accessible environments, information, and services allow people of all abilities to participate safely, independently, and equitably in everyday life. Creating inclusive experiences across the built and digital environments requires thoughtful evaluation, regulatory expertise, accessible policies, and design strategies that remove barriers and support equitable participation.
 
Our accessibility consultants support organizations in creating barrier-free environments and achieving ADA compliance with accessibility standards through thoughtful evaluation, inclusive design strategies, digital accessibility, and policy guidance. Working closely with public agencies, institutions, and private-sector clients, we evaluate facilities, infrastructure, public spaces, digital environments, and organizational policies to ensure alignment with applicable accessibility standards, requirements, and best practices.
 
Our services include accessibility assessments, ADA compliance evaluations, transition planning, digital accessibility, policy development, and design guidance. By integrating accessibility expertise with planning, engineering, and landscape architecture, we help clients incorporate inclusive solutions that enhance usability, support regulatory compliance, and improve access across physical and digital environments.
 
Matrix’s accessibility practice is supported by the expertise of Direct Access, a division of Matrix, specializing in accessibility evaluation, ADA transition planning, digital accessibility, policy development, and inclusive design consulting. Together, we help organizations and communities create experiences and environments that are accessible, welcoming, and inclusive.
