Moving organizations beyond compliance toward access people can actually use.
Our story
About us
Since 2016, Songow has provided organizations with trusted, end-to-end business solutions. Today we’re bringing that experience to a new venture that is deeply personal to me.
In 2008, my life changed overnight when a sudden physical illness affected my balance and my ability to walk. After years of exhaustive medical testing, I still have no formal diagnosis. That lived experience taught me a hard truth: code compliance does not equal true accessibility.
Founder & President
Our purpose
Closing the gap standards miss
Many organizations meet the minimum accessibility requirements yet overlook the daily, real-world obstacles faced by the special-needs community. To help close that gap, we launched a nonprofit — The World Through Our Eyes (WTOE).
Vision & mission
Beyond compliance, toward integration
WTOE moves organizations beyond mere compliance toward true integration. We educate businesses, decision-makers, nonprofits, and developers on the hidden hurdles that fall outside standard ADA guidelines.
