The Vision
Our Mission
It is important that we encourage those with non-typical physiology or sensory functions to live a normal, healthy lifestyle, regardless of their circumstances. Exercise should not be seen as only for able-bodied people. When we incorporate underrepresented needs in the development of tools and products, we may actually develop tools that benefit both the “average” and the “non-average” individual way better than if the tools that had only incorporated the “average” needs and uses. Thus, the utility/benefit extracted by everyone is greater - in part and in whole - when all needs are represented and actively met. We are accountable to the disability community. We are accountable to furthering the frontier that makes digital platforms more accessible.
Our Values
Our values and beliefs are honesty, open-mindedness, understanding, support, dependability, and respect. We do our best to give our full attention to anyone who may be so inclined to speak and discuss their ideas.
Open-mindedness is a crucial team value because our project timeline consists of phases that require those of particular skills and experiences to lead the phase.
Honesty and understanding is also an important team value because we rely on the expertise of our team members and we often need to bridge and reconcile our divergent expertise knowledge. We are learning to leverage each other’s expertise along the way.
