• Person-Centered Design
  We center the goals, strengths, preferences, and lived experiences of people with disabilities in every program and service.

• ADA-Focused & Accessibility-Informed
  We align our work with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and universal design principles to remove physical, communication, and systemic barriers.

• Collaborative & Practical
  We work alongside staff, participants, and stakeholders to design solutions that are realistic, compliant, and sustainable.

• Outcome-Driven
  We design programs with measurable outcomes that support independence, participation, and long-term success.

Our work does not ask people to fit into systems, we help systems adapt to people.

INITI8 is committed to advancing access, dignity, and equity for people with disabilities in every space we enter.

We Commit To:

• ADA Compliance & Best Practices
  Ensuring accessibility is foundational, not optional, across programs, environments, and services.

• Person-Centered Practice
  Honoring choice, autonomy, and self-determination in all planning and decision-making.

• Respect & Dignity
  Valuing individuals as whole people, not diagnoses or service recipients.

  Listening, learning, and adapting to ensure our work remains inclusive, ethical, and effective.

At INITI8, empowerment means more than access, it means belonging, participation, and opportunity.
