About Us
Our Vision: To create a world with universal access to knowledge and full participation in culture.
Ascend was started by Ryan Kelly after noticing several accessibility barriers that were preventing his friends from using the web. He got to work and built a website plugin for organizations wanting to improve their accessibility compliance (AODA, ADA, WCAG 2.1). This helped his friends a little bit, but it still wasn't the optimal approach as it would only be on pages that decided to use it. As a result, he also built it as a browser extension which allowed friends to run the software on every website they visited.

Super useful! Especially for a university student with dyslexia and ADHD. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
