Information Access Champions
Information should be easy to get, easy to understand, correct and respectful. Sadly, a lot of info about disability services is confusing or wrong.
Let’s fix it, together.
Take the Pledge
Virginians with disabilities and their families have trouble finding useful info on services. Read more about this in our 2022 report.
A champion is an agency or organization that pledges to make its information as inclusive and accessible as possible. They agree to evaluate and improve their information accessibility in collaboration with the disability community.
As a champion, you get a badge for your website, resources to help your accessibility journey, your name on our Wall of Champions and much more.

What is Information Ecology?
Information ecology shows how info is managed and shared. Understanding information ecology helps us understand barriers to info access.
To learn more, watch our Information Ecology webinar. (View or download the webinar slides.) You can also read more about information ecology and info access in our 2022 and 2024 assessments.
