Within Forum One, and among the mission-driven organizations we work with, I sense that more people understand that accessibility isn’t a box to check, but rather an integrated part of project design and delivery. This takes our approach out of a project-by-project mindset, and also challenges us to look internally.

I''ve seen this line of questioning almost completely disappear in the past two years due to many research studies and reports on the value and rise of participation, but in 2006-7, social media and participatory culture was still seen as nascent (and possibly a passing fad).
