The people behind SVAccessibility
ACCESSIBILITY CONSULTING · SPEAKING · ADAPTIVE PLAY
Open upwhat’spossible.
More people playing. More people participating.
More people feeling they belong.
We’re Vicki and Steve. Library leadership, accessibility expertise, and a shared belief in what people can do. Let’s make it happen.
BIG POSSIBILITIES.
HUMAN-SIZED FIRST STEPS.
MORE ACCESS. MORE LIFE.
There’s a whole world
on the other side
of “I can’t.”
Playing alongside a friend. Joining the conversation. Walking into a place that was ready for you.
That’s what accessibility can make possible. We help organizations move from wanting to include more people to knowing what to do next.

THIS IS WHAT POSSIBILITY LOOKS LIKE
A place to play.
A reason to stay.
Vicki coordinated an adaptive arcade in a working public library. Together, we brought the approach to ALA: meet people where they are, support the team, and make room for the joy of playing together. That experience shapes what we can build with you.
