The context

Where the work begins

Access is not a final feature added after the activity is designed. AdaptAbility starts with the range of bodies, abilities and environments that make movement possible.

The takeaway

What follows

The platform is a useful example of Western work that joins research to everyday participation: the measure of an idea is whether more people can actually use it.
