Third Legacy Foundation
Inclusion should be built into the room.
The Third Legacy Foundation, inspired by our daughter Zoe and by the many people whose abilities are underestimated when systems make too little room for difference, advances education, advocacy, and research for disability inclusion.

The founders
Built from love. Driven by evidence.
Our daughter Zoe changed the questions we ask about access, agency, and whose voice counts. Our work with Third Legacy reaches beyond our family: disabled people and their communities should help define what inclusion looks like.
Three pillars
Knowledge into action.
Advocacy
Make space for disabled people and families to shape the decisions and experiences that affect them.
Research
Study what supports participation, choice, and dignity, then translate those findings into practice.
Why it matters
Access is a design decision.
If people cannot understand your information or participate on their own terms, you may be missing their needs, ideas, and contributions.
Through work such as ACI and the Think Out, Be Light Fashion Show community, we are building a learning lab for a more inclusive future.

Family is where the question began.
After presenting at the World Congress on Special Needs Education in Oxford, we marked the moment together. The research is personal, but its purpose is public: systems that recognize the full humanity of more people.
