Making Accessibility Real, Affordable, and Human-First
Inclusive Solutions Consulting (ISC) helps organizations build accessibility that actually works for real people — not just what’s written in policy. Founded by Gabriel Harris, a C2/C3 quadriplegic with 17+ years of lived experience, ISC combines professional standards with real-world usability insight to turn accessibility from a compliance burden into a strategic advantage. We make accessibility actionable, affordable, and culturally meaningful. Our work strengthens your systems, your staff, and your public trust — not your paperwork. Through accessibility audits, InclusiveReady™ Certification, leadership inclusion training, and long-term inclusion strategy, we equip businesses, nonprofits, and governments with the tools to create environments where everyone can participate with dignity. Because inclusion isn’t charity — it’s infrastructure. And when you build it well, your organization becomes stronger from the ground up.

What does an accessibility or inclusion audit include?
An accessibility or inclusion audit is a practical, lived-experience review of your space, systems, and culture. We assess both compliance and real-world usability to identify barriers and provide clear, achievable recommendations.
Our audits are informed by:
ADA (U.S.) and AODA (Canada) requirements
CSA accessibility standards
Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ (RHFAC) principles
Universal Design and lived-experience usability testing
Rather than focusing only on checklists, we look at how people actually move through, interact with, and experience your environment.
Audits may include:
On-site or virtual walkthroughs (depending on scope)
Review of physical, digital, operational, and cultural accessibility
Identification of compliance gaps and usability barriers
Assessment of communication, signage, policies, and customer interactions
Alignment review with ADA, CSA, and RHFAC-informed best practices
A clear summary report with prioritized, practical action steps
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s real, measurable progress that improves access, confidence, and inclusion across your organization.
Do you offer inclusion and awareness training or workshops
Yes.
Inclusion Culture & Awareness Training helps teams build confidence, clarity, and consistency when interacting with people with disabilities.
We assess how inclusion shows up in everyday communication, behavior, and decision-making — then provide practical tools leaders and staff can use immediately.
This includes:
Inclusive language and respectful disability representation
Staff training on access, belonging, and inclusive leadership
Culture readiness review (confidence, attitudes, lived experience)
Communication and interaction review (signage, forms, public-facing materials)
Guidance for staff–participant, volunteer, and contractor interactions
Digital readability and user-inclusion review (documents and web content)
How it’s delivered:
Focus groups or staff surveys (with anonymous input options)
A simple inclusion scorecard to identify strengths and gaps
Clear, practical recommendations aligned with your accessibility plan
This training isn’t about perfection or “saying the right thing.”
It’s about helping people feel confident, respectful, and prepared — every day.
How is Inclusive Solutions different from the Rick Hansen Foundation’s RHFAC?
The Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) is the largest program in Canada — but it’s also known for being expensive, bureaucratic, and intimidating for small organizations.
Inclusive Solutions Consulting was created as the practical, lived-experience alternative.
Here’s how we’re different:
Affordable & Scalable: Our audits and certification are priced to fit small businesses, nonprofits, and large organizations alike.
Lived Experience First: Every audit and training is delivered by someone who has navigated accessibility firsthand, not just on paper.
Streamlined Process: No unnecessary red tape — we focus on what matters and give you clear, actionable steps.
Culture + Compliance: Where RHFAC can feel like a checklist, InclusiveReady™ also builds awareness and inclusion culture through training and mentorship.
If RHFAC is the institutional option, InclusiveReady™ is the authentic, human-first path to accessibility recognition.
Can you help us meet our ESG or DEI goals?
Yes. We support organizations embedding accessibility into their ESG and DEI strategy through:
ESG reporting & strategy alignment
Disability inclusion & HR equity audits
Workplace accessibility planning
InclusiveReady™ Certification for credibility
Accessibility is not just compliance — it’s a measurable ESG advantage.
Do you offer virtual audits or training outside Vancouver?
Yes. All services can be delivered remotely, including:
Accessibility walkthroughs (virtual)
Training & awareness workshops
Certification consultations and reviews
What is Inclusive Ready Certification?
InclusiveReady™ is our flagship accessibility certification. It recognizes organizations that go beyond compliance to build real, human-first inclusion.
Available in Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers, it’s designed for businesses of all sizes. Each level is based on a lived-experience audit of your space, culture, and policies — not just a checklist.
With InclusiveReady™, you get:
Clear recommendations to improve accessibility
Recognition backed by lived experience

InclusiveReady™ makes accessibility visible, credible, and achievable.
