We're redesigning life's most impactful moments to drive justice for disabled Americans.
Audience members are seated in a theater. Grammy Award Winner, Melissa Etheridge is seated on a platform among them playing guitar. Colorful stage lights and a bright spotlight are on Melissa.
3 American Sign Language interpreters are working near Melissa.
Across the United States, accessibility is still delivered through an accommodation-based model that relies on last-minute coordination and inconsistent execution. This model cannot scale, and as a result, it limits opportunity, visibility, and workforce sustainability for disabled Americans.
Invest In Access is transforming accessibility into infrastructure. We embed American Sign Language and other accessibility services directly into live events and workplaces, standardizing best practices and building stable systems that serve disabled Americans while simultaneously furthering accessibility as a profession and a civic function.
Our Priority: Accessibility, Reimagined at Scale
Currently in the United States
Accommodation Based Model
Accessibility added in a late stage or
ad-hoc basis
No standardized placement or sizing of interpreters
Manual vendor outreach via call, email, text
Inconsistent interpreter availability and skill
Unstable, episodic, workforce engagement
Our Solution
Infrastructure Based Model
American Sign Language integrated by default in production
workflows (turn on/off option as Captions are)
Global best practice standardized placement and sizing of interpreters
Centralized, repeatable delivery systems
Consistent visibility across live, hybrid, broadcast-adjacent formats
Stable, remote, location-independent employment pathways
