I am proud to share my recent feature in Enspire Magazine, a powerful recognition as I celebrate five years of The Alycia Anderson Company. This article adds to a growing collection of publications highlighting my mission to advance disability inclusion across corporate, educational, and community spaces. As I look ahead to 2026, I am energized by the momentum we are building toward a truly disability forward decade.

Make It Accessible: Design for Everyone, Elevate Everyone


Published: Wednesday November 19, 2025
Alycia using a wheelchair rolls along a sunny city sidewalk smiling while walking a small black-and-white dog on a red leash. Bold text at the top reads ‘Make it accessible for …’ with callout labels around her that say ‘Every Body,’ ‘Every Voice,’ ‘Every Environment,’ ‘Every Mind,’ and ‘Every Thing.’ Website text at the bottom reads ‘www.alyciaanderson.com.’”

“Make it accessible” means making it possible for people to work, speak, show up, and thrive. Accessibility isn’t decoration—it’s dignity, independence, and measurable impact. Every choice either removes a barrier or builds one. When we design for every body, voice, and mind, participation becomes excellence. Build accessibility in from day one, listen to real users, and remember: small changes create huge inclusion. Design for everyone, and you elevate everyone today.

As Halloween 2025 approaches, the excitement of costumes is layered with reflection. For us, the rise of adaptive wheelchair-friendly options was once a win but now those options are shrinking. Designing with disability in mind isn’t just moral, it’s strategic. Inclusive, adaptive products open broader markets, spark innovation and foster belonging. When costuming or any product fails to include people with disabilities, organizations lose more than presence. They lose potential, culture and growth.

Meeting ADA author Tony Coelho and invoking Judy Heumann’s charge to dismantle barriers reminded us the movement lives on—and so does our responsibility.
