Although one in four adults lives with a disability, about 73% of businesses still fail to meet accessibility standards outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act over 30 years ago.

Birmingham is uniquely positioned to tackle this gap, thanks to the world-class disability advocacy expertise here at Lakeshore Foundation. The organization has launched two big initiatives on this front—a new podcast and Lakeshore Consulting Services for businesses and fellow nonprofits.

Read on to see how Lakeshore Foundation is using these two approaches to raise awareness and transform it into action.
