Life Quest Training and Consulting offers tools for architects and engineers to become optimally effective in providing an accessible and inclusive experience to all people. It was developed in response to the growing recognition that people with disabilities make up the fastest-growing minority population in the world and greater access for them equals greater equity and inclusion for all.
