VBPD has advanced communication access, digital equity, and public input statewide—co-creating solutions with Virginians with disabilities. These highlights capture recent momentum, but not the full extent of our progress.
- Language Access Initiative: Over 5,500 Virginians have benefited from the Language and Disability Access Initiative, which supports plain language and multilingual communication across state agencies.
- Statewide Billboard Campaign: In 2023, the campaign garnered 3.2 million views, significantly raising visibility for disability inclusion and awareness.
- Broad Public Engagement: The board’s 2025 public input campaign was its most extensive yet, collecting feedback from hundreds of individuals and families to shape its five-year plan.
- Accessible Website Launch: VBPD’s fully accessible website, co-designed with Virginians with disabilities, launched in 2024—making it easier to navigate services and training opportunities.
- Digital Inclusion Partnership: A formal partnership with the Department of Housing and Community Development is advancing digital inclusion for people with disabilities through broadband access and literacy programs.
