WHAT CLIENTS SAY
PHYSICAL AUDIT
Museum Access Consulting’s building audit was a crucial step in our ongoing efforts to improve accessibility. Their approach was thoughtful and showed a real understanding of the unique barriers within museum spaces. They took what could have been an overwhelming amount of information and distilled it into a clear, prioritized plan, from the urgent fixes to the longer-term improvements we hope to make. Their work will help guide us as we move forward in creating a more inclusive and welcoming museum experience.
— Echo Paixao, Public Programs Manager, Natural History Museum of Utah

Achieving Access worked with us to craft relevant, instantly useful, and long-lasting tools and training sessions that set our team up for success and have continued to foster a culture of learning and evolution. Accessibility work involves both cultivating a growth mindset and enacting tangible steps to change – Museum Access Consulting understood all of these facets, and worked closely with us to meet our goals and organizational needs.
