Accessibility culture doesn’t happen by accident.

Organizations can invest in standards, tools, training, and expertise—and all of those things matter.

But whether accessibility becomes part of how an organization actually operates depends on something deeper.

What does leadership prioritize?

What does governance reinforce?

What are people expected—and enabled—to do?

What happens when competing priorities emerge?

Accessibility Culture Leadership Theory (ACLT) examines the role leadership plays in creating the organizational conditions in which accessibility can take root and become part of everyday practice.

Because leadership doesn't simply support accessibility.

It helps shape the culture in which accessibility happens.

Advancing Accessibility. Shaping Culture.
