LET’S has created and/or performed accessibility audits of different scales for many different organizations, companies, cities, housing developments, and individuals. LET’S creates checklists, based on the Canadian Standards Association and other worldwide standards as well as criteria from years of listening to the access needs of our disabled members. These checklists are then applied to venues and events. We follow up our audit with a detailed report about what our client is doing well, what needs improvement, and what can be done in the short-term or long-term, and what is financially feasible. Our audit tool and reporting is specific to the needs of our client. LET’S is known for having a flexibility that fits the many needs of our clients.

“Heather is knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, and generous. As the moderator of Chronically Queer, they create a welcoming environment for everyone—regardless of where participants are in their respective disability journeys. Chronically Queer benefits from Heather’s extensive experience, longstanding commitment to advocacy, and dedication to supporting disabled people and affirming disabled ways-of-being. It is clear that Heather views accessibility as a practice and is therefore always seeking to make the group work better for participants. Moreover, Heather is passionate about ensuring that accessibility extend beyond “crip” spaces and, in that spirit, often offers group members opportunities to have our voices heard in majority-abled spaces as well. Under their care, the group has become a thriving community and fostered many friendships.“
