Year 2 Impact Report: Translation Successes
Innovation impact and relationship building with community partners
CREATE projects deployed on a broad scale in 2021-22 include Project Sidewalk, which launched in Mexico and Amsterdam. The Pointing Magnifier assistive pointing aid exceeded 100,000 downloads from third-party sites. And Blocks4All supported two Hour of Code events.
With our new Public Community Engagement and Partnerships Manager, we focused our efforts to establish cooperative relationships between researchers and communities that understand unmet accessibility needs and can provide guidance and direction on how to apply our innovations in real world settings.

Taking accessibility to the next level
By supporting CREATE, you support education, fund research, and translate those to real-world solutions for the 1 in 4 people in the U.S. who have disabilities.
Donate to CREATEThe need for greater access
A core mantra of the disability movement is “Nothing about us without us,” yet technical advances often assume a certain set of abilities, limit customizability, and fail to include people with disabilities as creators of technology.
The major challenges of creating accessible technology and of making the world accessible through technology are outpacing even the most talented individual researchers and small teams.
