Access and independence through information

 

If you have a disability, leaving your home can be an adventure. It doesn't matter if you are going shopping, eating out, taking care of business, or planning a night on the town, an overnight trip, a weekend getaway, or a vacation. You need information on how a facility is accessible for your specific needs. Symbols, charts, phone numbers or brief descriptions, just don't answer all your access questions about an unfamiliar location, right?

 

Accessible Virginia is THE Web source for the most detailed access information on a statewide area. We give accurate, cross-disability data. We want you to have the information necessary for making informed choices and not to have to call ahead for information. Our motto is, "Know before you go."

 

The Opening Door, Inc. has been publishing access guides for 20 years. The name conveys our mission. We are opening doors to persons with hearing, visual, mobility, and cognitive disabilities so they can enjoy all the wonderful opportunities that Virginia has to offer.

 

This site is done by people having physical or sensory disabilities for persons with disabilities. The listings on this site accepted the invitation to be part of Accessible Virginia. Data was obtained by on-site visits or accessibility questionnaires. On-site assessments were done by occupational, physical, or recreational therapists with persons with disabilities checking the assessments for accuracy.

 

All listings were accurate and verified at the time of uploading this site. The Opening Door, Inc. is not responsible for any changes occurring after April 30, 2009. Listings on this site does not imply any endorsement by The Opening Door, Inc., the Virginia Tourism Corporation, or the Commonwealth of Virginia.
