About Us
KIND stands for Komputing for INclusion and Disability. In the KIND lab, we collaborate on projects that aim to make accessibility mainstream in the software industry as well as in computing education.
Culture
Regarding the culture of the lab, we work remotely and meet in person when we can. We share virtual space and physical space to accommodate various work preferences. We do our best to meet deadlines, but we prioritize your well being and mental health.
Vision
Although some level of accessibility is required by law, it is a bare minimum that often does not meet the needs of people with disabilities. We want to increase awareness of how important accessibility is, and help spread information on how to more successfully implement it.
Our Approach
How we translate our vision into action
Design for Access
We design software specifically for people with disabilities to support their learning and access to information, ensuring technology serves everyone regardless of ability.
Inclusive Innovation
We challenge standard paradigms by building tools that don't rely on traditional inputs. An example of our work is an accessible video editor that does not rely on vision.
