Real-World Disability Insight
Effective technology begins with listening. Everyday environments, changing abilities, sensory needs, cognitive demands, emotional safety, identity, and dignity all matter.
AT Partnerships
Better solutions begin with the people who use them.
An invitation to innovators, engineers, researchers, founders, startups, technology companies, and assistive technology developers.
An invitation to collaborate
Technology that belongs to everyone.
We are interested in building collaborations. This page describes our goals and possible ways to work together.
Assistive technology has the power to improve communication, mobility, education, employment, independence, participation, and quality of life.
However, technology can only make a meaningful difference when people can access it, afford it, understand it, and use it successfully in their everyday lives.
Disability Solutions, LLC welcomes collaboration with innovators, engineers, researchers, founders, startups, technology companies, and assistive technology developers who share a commitment to disability rights, user-centered design, affordability, accessibility, and meaningful impact.
Assistive technology should not be treated as a luxury. We advocate for technology that is accessible, affordable, adaptable, individualized, repairable, sustainable, intuitive, and responsive to real-world needs.
Our perspective
Effective technology starts with listening.
Disability-Rights Perspective
Technology should strengthen autonomy. Accessibility, informed choice, dignity, self-determination, inclusion, and meaningful participation guide our perspective.
Individualized Needs
Disability is not one-size-fits-all. We encourage customizable, adaptable, flexible solutions that recognize different people, environments, and goals.
Trauma-Informed Design
Medical experiences, disability-related trauma, loss of independence, and inaccessible systems may shape a person’s experience of technology. Design should be respectful and emotionally safe.
Our collaboration goals
Reduce barriers. Expand possibilities.
Reduce cost barriers
Explore affordable design, alternative funding pathways, scalable technologies, modular systems, repairable products, and sustainable long-term access.
Expand individualized solutions

Improve real-world usability
Consider home, work, and education settings alongside sensory access, energy limitations, chronic illness, changing abilities, and ease of use.
