The Accessible Icon Project

The Accessible Icon Project is an initiative that reimagines the traditional wheelchair symbol, representing disability. Instead of a static, seated figure, it depicts a dynamic, forward-moving person with an uplifted arm, symbolizing independence, empowerment, and active participation in society. The project aims to challenge stereotypes and promote a more positive, inclusive view of disability. By updating this widely recognized icon, it encourages greater awareness, respect, and acknowledgment of the diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities, fostering a cultural shift toward accessibility and empowerment.
