OUR MISSION
At LevelField Consultants, we advocate and promote the need for an environment that is accessible, safe and inclusive for persons of all ages and abilities.
We aim to improve the level of awareness on the need for a safe and accessible built environment and promote the social inclusion of all in particular people with disabilities and the elderly.
WHY ACCESSIBILITY?
Accessibility in the built environment affects a large number of people within society. In particular, an accessible environment enables people with disabilities and the elderly to be independent and be a part of the community.
Universal Design is a concept that promotes the designing of products and the environment to make it usable by everyone regardless of ability. As a result of universal design, everyone can benefit; people with disabilities, people who are of short or tall stature, parents with prams, the elderly - everyone will have greater access to products as well as the built and external environments.
LevelField Consultants aims to promote the inclusion of all people in all activities.
An accessible environment is the first step towards levelling the playing field and improving the quality of life for all.
