EQUITY SEQUENCE® HIGHLIGHTS:
“As an accessibility professional, integrating the Equity Sequence® into my work has been an opportunity to shift perspectives and go deeper. It helped me move beyond traditional ways of working and better pin point whose needs are truly being centered, whose voices are we missing, and how these are reflected in decision-making processes. The Equity Sequence® brings visibility to biases that can exist even within well-intentioned accessibility or inclusion programs and policies. What I appreciate most about the tool is that it doesn’t promise to find the right answer, but just plain better answers for any project, solution, initiative.”
