What if the accessibility challenges we face today could be solved by a crowdsourced platform and an engaging, educational app? Join us on Access Chat as we welcome Peter Gibson and Anubha Singhal, the co-founders of EnableMeAccess, who are on a mission to revolutionize accessibility in India. Hear Peter's deeply personal journey as a carer for his wife, which unveiled the glaring gaps in accessibility standards within public spaces and hotels. Discover how these experiences inspired the creation of simplified data sheets and a gamified app designed to spark empathy and awareness in younger generations. Anubha shares her unique perspective and her pivotal role in this transformative initiative.
In this episode, we also feature an inspiring architect living with mobility impairment, who, through his professional insights, sheds light on the importance of universal design. Learn about the grassroots, crowdsourced approach EnableMeAccess employs to foster inclusivity, and their commitment to transparency and collaboration with the government. We delve into the organization's not-for-profit structure, their innovative strategies for sustainable operations, and how they are democratizing accessibility information. Understand the impact of their efforts to train individuals to accurately assess and report on building accessibility, empowering communities with the knowledge needed to create a more inclusive future.
