Accessibility is no longer just about compliance—it’s about creating spaces, services, and experiences that everyone can use with dignity and independence.
AccessAlly 2026 is a hybrid professional development programme by Enable Me Access Association (EMA), designed to equip aspiring accessibility professionals with practical skills, industry exposure, mentorship, and real-world implementation experience.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
You can register for AccessAlly in three ways — start from Level 1, enroll in the full three-level programme, or join directly at Level 2 or Level 3 if you already have relevant experience. Each entry point has its own registration deadline.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Accessibility is Creating New Opportunities
“There is a lot more awareness about accessibility today, but there is still a gap between knowing that accessibility matters and knowing how to actually implement it. Someone may know a building needs a ramp, but understanding the correct slope, landing, handrails, and dimensions — and the actual experience of a wheelchair/ an elderly user — is very different.” — Anubha Singhal, Co-Founder, Enable Me Access
“Did You Know?”
MEET ACCESSALLY
A First-of-Its-Kind Cohort Designed for Future Accessibility Leaders
More Than a Training Programme AccessAlly is a professional learning experience that combines structured education with practical application. Participants don’t just learn about accessibility—they engage with real projects, collaborate with experts, and develop the confidence to contribute to accessibility initiatives across sectors.
Through a blend of classroom learning, field exposure, mentorship, and collaborative projects, the programme prepares participants to bridge the gap between accessibility policy and implementation.
AccessAlly has been redesigned into three levels — so participants can choose exactly how far they want to go.
Learn
Develop a strong foundation in accessibility, Universal Design, standards, regulations, and implementation strategies.
Experience
Apply your learning through site visits, accessibility assessments, case studies, and hands-on projects.
Grow
Build leadership skills, expand your professional network, and prepare for opportunities in accessibility consulting and inclusive development.
Build Skills That Make an Impact
The curriculum brings together technical expertise, leadership development, and practical implementation across all three levels — Discover, Design, and Lead.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Bridging Learning with Real-World Application
At AccessAlly, learning extends beyond presentations and lectures. The programme is designed to immerse participants in practical experiences that build confidence, encourage collaboration, and connect theory with real-world implementation.
Through mentorship, field exposure, peer learning, and project-based assignments, participants gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of creating accessible environments.
Why Choose AccessAlly?
AccessAlly combines technical knowledge with practical implementation, industry collaboration, and professional development. Every aspect of the programme has been designed to prepare participants for meaningful careers in accessibility.
Whether your goal is to strengthen your current role, expand your expertise, or pursue opportunities in accessibility consulting, the programme provides the tools and network to help you grow.
Who Should Apply?
Designed for Professionals Who Want to Create Inclusive Change
Whether you are beginning your journey in accessibility or looking to strengthen your existing expertise, AccessAlly brings together professionals from diverse backgrounds who share a common goal to build a more inclusive India.
The programme welcomes individuals who are passionate about accessibility, Universal Design, and creating environments that are usable by everyone.
“Joining Level 1 simply requires an Expression of Interest — tell us what draws you to this field. Joining Level 2 or Level 3 directly requires a short interview, so we can confirm you have the relevant competence for that level.”
