Digital Accessibility Toolkit
The ASA Digital Accessibility Toolkit is a practical, people-centered guide to creating more accessible digital spaces for older adults and people with disabilities. Designed for professionals in aging services, nonprofits, and community organizations, it offers clear, actionable guidance to reduce barriers, improve usability, and help more people engage with your digital content.

It includes practical steps to reduce stigma, build trust, and center lived experience. This guide covers everything from staff training to care coordination and community partnerships.
DEI Resource Library
The content provided in this DEI Resource Library serves as a starting point to lay the foundation of your DEI learning. ASA highly encourages you to engage within each topic to find additional resources and learning tools to further your education.

On Aging Institute Support
The On Aging Institute soft-launched in August 2024, with the support and commitment of nearly $1 million from Next50 over the Institute’s first three years. The Institute will continue to evolve over a multi-year development process, starting with a library of programming focused on leading with equity and building capacity among aging services organizations, informed by close collaboration with Colorado-based entities. ASA thanks Next50 for their support as a founding partner!
