Understand Access
Recognize accessibility as an organizational responsibility that often benefits everyone.
ALT POWER
Access. Leadership. Teamwork.
Disability inclusion is not complete when people gain entry but remain excluded from advancement, influence, or leadership. ALT POWER challenges organizations to treat accessibility as a shared responsibility, create genuine pathways for disabled people to grow, and recognize access as an investment in participation and performance. Because accessibility challenges do not always have an immediate or perfect answer, Derrick equips audiences to replace blame with communication, involve disabled people in the solution, and develop creative approaches that are practical, respectful, and sustainable.
