The Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification which is rolling out across Canada . There are entities in the United States that are starting to look at this , airport authorities internationally and networks of professionals . Our training is online and global so anyone in the world with the prerequisites can take the course and be designated . It is available at seven universities and colleges in Canada , one of them is the global online Athabasca University . The idea is to get it out there , train and designate thousands of professionals in the field , and advocates too , using the same language , measuring the same things and then get that knowledge upstream until this becomes normal and moves into policy with governments , private sector and agencies . In the bidding process , somebody has to be designated on the design team , there must be a provisional rating before you starting construction and then people who touch a project all the way through will actually have that same level of knowledge , so that by the time advocates come together , they ' re actually able to do what they should , which is look at whatever unique gaps there may be , based on local circumstances and innovation . That ’ s where advocates can provide the best value .
