Accessibility Services Program

SAIL strives to be the conduit in making sure all locations, services, and information are accessible to everyone in our community, including people who live with a disability. The Accessibility Services program was designed to provide accessibility support services to any business or organization in any county in the U.P. via a fee-for-service. Our staff will assist you with learning more about the types of challenges or barriers that individuals living with all types of disabilities face in the community. Your business or organization will gain a working knowledge of best practices regarding how to ensure all individuals are welcomed and can access all aspects of your work or products to improve your bottom line and guarantee improved success!
