The RAMP Roll-Through
Are you a small business owner who is concerned about accessibility?
Do you think making your place of business more accessible will be too costly, or do you simply not know where to start?
RAMP can help with that!
The RAMP Roll-Through is an accessibility assessment that will help you make your place of business accessible and disability-friendly in an affordable way.
RAMP CEO Tina Guenette and the United Way RI Design Team - working together with others makes us all stronger!
We understand the struggles that small businesses are facing, especially after these past few years. The thought of having to modify your business to increase accessibility may feel daunting, but it doesn't have to be!
In fact, creating a disability-friendly space is good business! It's estimated that nearly 25% of the adult population has some form of disability. Would you want to turn away every 4th customer who came to your door? Probably not!
Anthony Santurri, Owner of Free Play Bar Arcade
Remember that disability is a group any one of us can join at any time, and businesses also have to meet the needs of an aging population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of people age 65 and over grew by 38% from 2010 to 2011. That makes this the fasting growing age group!
By 2030, all members of the Baby Boomer generation will be 65 or over, and the Census Bureau estimates that there will be approximately 77 million people in that age group. Businesses need to be inclusively-designed to meet the needs of these customers.
How does The RAMP Roll-Through work?
It's easy! Contact RAMP to schedule your free assessment. We show up and do a "roll-through" in our wheelchairs to see where unknown barriers may exist. Yes, we are real wheelchair users - you get authentic user feedback!
RAMP will then provide you with an assessment and recommendations about steps you can take to modify or otherwise make your space more disability-friendly. There is no cost for this service! However, we will gladly accept a donation if you wish to continue supporting our work.
