What does it mean to be an Access Partner?
Access Partners are organizations that provide Aira Explorer, Aira ASL, or both, free of charge to their customers, employees, visitors, or students. This means anyone within an Access Partner location can use their mobile device to connect with an interpreter, on-demand. By offering complementary use of Aira services, organizations ensure everyone who interacts with them has equal access to visual information and more efficient communication.
Aira Access Partners include well-known companies, universities, banks, governments, museums, transit systems and major sporting venues who are all committed to fostering environments of inclusivity and accessibility. Becoming an Access Partner is a seamless and powerful tool to enhance the reach of your organization’s accessibility efforts. Get set up as an Access Partner as quickly as one week from when you sign your agreement.

The impact of offering Aira's services
“Aira helps create that sense of comfort and belonging. Getting your computer hooked up, getting plugged in, sitting where you want, and getting situated. I think it’s just so much more about bringing that environment and that feeling of belonging to the person, to the customer.”
- Krista Flores, Manager of Disability Inclusion, Starbucks“Aira provides independence, efficiency, engagement, and the confidence for anyone whether they’re blind or have low vision. Aira can help with getting a more fluid description of the artwork or navigating a specific gallery. The Butler is a pretty large space, and Aira helps with navigating from gallery to gallery, being able to shop in the museum store, going through the cafe and looking at the menu, as well as other programs outside of the typical arts experiences.”
- Joy Mistovich, Digital UX Accessibility Specialist at The Butler Institute of American Art“I just used Aira at the Jacksonville Florida Walmart and was able to navigate the entire store very well. I think that’s the first time in 20 years I have walked through a Walmart completely independently.”
- From an Explorer using Aira at Walmart, an Aira Access Partner“I deliberately will get dropped off at major, metropolitan airports, for example, sometimes hours before flights because I enjoy the freedom of just being able to walk around with you guys in my ear telling me exactly where to go and it is a level of autonomy that I have never been able to have on my own before. Working in any type of big meeting event will now be made 10 times easier and having spent a lot of my life in the professional world, this really is a game changer. Thank you for what you guys do and what you’re continuing to do.”
