844-897-3935TypeWell remains strong in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA).
Accessibility is not a privilege; it is a fundamental necessity for an equitable society. DEIA measures ensure that people with disabilities can fully participate in classrooms, workplaces, and public life. You can read our full statement here.
As such, we are closely watching how challenges to DEIA and cuts to education funding in the United States are impacting professionals, schools, and businesses.
Stay Informed
It's more critical now than ever to seek information from reputable sources. There's a lot of disinformation on social media, so be aware when reading and sharing articles.
TypeWell has produced a few well-researched blog posts exploring DEIA challenges in more detail, complete with citations and archived links:
