About this project
In Israel today, many of the places of business are at best not sufficiently accessible to people with disabilities. Many people with disabilities need to prepare prior to going somewhere. Getting there only to find it inaccessible - is annoying!
Our solution is an app that allows people with disabilities to search for specific businesses, considering their location and required adjustments.
Based on the search entered, the app will show the individual a list of accessible places relevant to their specific disability, with all relevant info. Thus allowing them to avoid wasting their time planning (and arriving at) an inaccessible place.
Who it helps
Fanni Adam - Married +1, living in Herzliya (Israel), a trained
speech therapist, working for Access Israel - in a wheelchair
due to Polio. Loves life, loves extreme sports, and doesn’t
give in to the physical hardships.
