Aligna: The Structure of Inclusion, Made Tangible for Complex Decisions


You’re in the Right Place
You’re not sure whether your policies or procedures actually reflect your values or just say they do.
Disability and access obligations feel high-risk or unclear, so decisions keep getting delayed until they seem too late or not enough.
You’ve invested in inclusion, community relationships, codesign, or growth, but the results aren’t matching the effort.
Inside your organization, people feel pulled in different directions and nothing seems to create lasting traction.
How We Work with Organizations
We work with clients across different time horizons, depending on what the moment demands. Some need focused clarity. Others need a sustained partner.
All engagements are grounded in the same structure: aligning values, law, and operations so decisions don’t unravel under pressure. We draw from our signature framework, The Access Wheel, to guide conversations and relationships towards collaborative implementation (our underlying value).
How Clients Engage with Us
Most clients start with one scope and adjust as clarity emerges.
We work with a small number of clients at a time so that we can provide focused, high-quality support.

Focused Engagements (Weeks)
Targeted work to clarify a decision, pressure-test policies, or unblock stalled action.

Project-Based Consulting (Months)
Deeper work to redesign governance, decision-making processes, or inclusion and access systems.

Ongoing Strategy Partnerships
Aligna serves as a trusted Chief Strategy Partner, helping leaders navigate complexity over time as conditions change.
The Access Wheel™
The Access Wheel™ is the core framework grounding Aligna’s work. It’s a decision-making and systems design tool rooted in disability and access expertise, developed to help organizations make choices that hold up under real-world pressure.
In disability and access work, systems fail early. The Access Wheel helps organizations:
- Surface hidden constraints before they become crises
- Align values, legal obligations, and operational reality
- Design policies and processes that work for real people
- Make decisions that hold under scrutiny and over time
Every consulting and advisory engagement draws on this framework, whether the work lasts a few weeks or evolves into an ongoing partnership. Learn more about The Access Wheel
