The Hidden Accessibility of Everyday Equipment

When we think about accessibility, we often overlook the small details that can make a massive difference. Did you know that most vendors now offer accessible versions of everyday equipment? From coffee makers with large, clear buttons to furniture designed with ergonomic considerations, these tools can dramatically improve workplace inclusivity.

For organizations just starting their accessibility journey, I recommend a comprehensive audit of your current equipment. Ask questions like: Can all employees easily operate the coffee machine? Are office chairs adjustable for different body types and mobility needs? Are communication tools like phones and computers adaptable?

These might seem like minor considerations, but they represent significant steps towards creating a workplace where everyone can perform at their best, regardless of their physical abilities.
