  • Empowering Adults with Physical Disabilities
    Mar 29 2024

    About Org:

    Envisioning Access is a Boston based 501 c 3 that is developing, in conjunction with tech start-ups and universities, innovative technologies like AR/VR, robotics, AI for those living with physical disabilities. Started in 1979, the organization has recently undergone a dynamic transformation from a service animal model to establishing an Innovative Technology Initiative. We are working with scientists and designers,

    some of whom have physical disabilities themselves while also using our recipient base and developing relationships with other partners to bring on those who will use these technologies to test the products and provide input on the design and efficacy of the product. At Envisioning Access, we are amazed to discover that technology developed for the disability community is often developed without the input of anyone in the disability community. Our hope is that no technology for the disability community will be

    made without the feedback of those using the tech, and if possible, developed by someone in the disabilitycommunity.


    All our projects have three main goals in addition to providing accessibility for all. The technology must:

    • provide a means to assist with a path for meaningful employment;

    • offer assistance to getting back to school if that is what the individual wants; and,

    • help alleviate isolation.


    About Diane:

    As the executive director of Envisioning Access, Inc., Diane Nahabedian leads the organization's dynamic transition from providing service animals to developing innovative technology for people with physical disabilities. With over 35 years of nonprofit management experience, she has a proven track record of enhancing the stature, financial security, and strategic partnerships of organizations through effective

    development, marketing, and communications.

    Diane has expertise in branding and rebranding organizations, and works with teams including boards and staff to plan and execute revenue-generating events and programs. She creates comprehensive marketing and public relations strategies to increase awareness of the organization and its key players. Her mission is to empower people with disabilities to live more independent and fulfilling lives through technology that meets their needs and preferences.
