In January we began a discussion in this newsletter regarding our campaign A Road to a Million. Our goal is to raise $1 million by December 31, 2025. Due to your generosity, we are 50% of the way down the “road” to completion of the campaign. We could not have accomplished this amazing feat without your support.
The third and final of the three initiatives A Road to a Million supports is:
- Finding a path to attaining higher education.
At Envisioning Access, we imagine a world where every student, regardless of their abilities, has the tools and support they need to learn, grow, and achieve their dreams. For millions of students with physical disabilities, this world remains out of reach.
Students with disabilities face systemic obstacles, from inaccessible learning materials to a lack of trained educators who understand their needs. In the United States alone, students with disabilities are 40% less likely to graduate from high school, limiting their future opportunities. Globally, the challenge is even greater. By working with tech start-ups and universities who are developing technologies that will allow students with physical disabilities to access campuses and classrooms either remotely or onsite the A Road to a Million campaign is undertaking an ambitious effort to transform education for students with disabilities by providing accessible technologies, training educators, and creating inclusive learning environments. Assistive technologies like text-to-speech programs, adaptive keyboards, and screen readers can make learning accessible to all students. Together, we can ensure that education becomes a pathway to opportunity, not a barrier.
We cannot do this work alone. We need your assistance to provide assistive technologies for learning. Your support will put life-changing tools directly into the hands of students, empowering them to participate fully in their education.
Why Now?
The need has never been greater—or the opportunity more exciting. Assistive technologies are evolving rapidly, making them more effective and affordable than ever. Your gift to A Road to a Million will change the trajectory of students’ lives by breaking down barriers to education.
Together, we can make education accessible, equitable, and inclusive for all. Join Envisioning Access in ensuring that every student can achieve their full potential.
Make your gift today and help us pave the way for millions of bright futures.
