The Inclusive Design Institute is a research and development hub focused on creating technology that is accessible to people with a wide range of abilities. It serves designers, developers, educators, and organizations committed to building equitable digital experiences. The institute's work moves beyond basic compliance to address the full spectrum of human diversity.

• Research-Driven Framework: The institute's approach is based on extensive academic research, providing a principled methodology for inclusive design rather than just a checklist.
• Open Tools and Resources: It develops and shares practical software tools, guidelines, and case studies that teams can apply directly to their projects.
• Community and Training: Offers workshops, events, and collaborative projects that build capacity and share knowledge about inclusive practices across sectors.
• Focus on Meaning-Based Languages: Conducts forward-looking research, such as expanding large language models to work with non-phonetic, meaning-based communication systems, addressing future accessibility challenges.
