>>Maybe look for a consulting firm? There are ones that bundle together a bunch of different specialists.<<
After doing a bit of actual research, I've found some people who do accessibility consulting, but it's structural, not cultural. (Except for one Canadian nonprofit that focuses on Deaf/hard of hearing accessibility. And it's not super clear from a quick look what they focus on within that.) Either website or physical structure building. Which are both things I might learn, but I'd rather do cultural accessibility (is that a good name for the thing I'm talking about?) as a primary focus. We have laws and buildings and websites, and until people really believe in it, it's going to keep being a problem. I do know a woman who did organizational transition consulting for a long time, and I'm hoping to talk to her about it, because she's good at that, and I figure there must be some overlap, and she's well-connected, so she might be able and willing to help me find a place to start.
