David Capozzi has been the Executive Director of the U.S. Access Board since 2008 and a staff member since 1992.
The Access Board promotes equality for people with disabilities through leadership in accessible design and the development of accessibility guidelines.
He has a T-7 SCI injury and has used a manual wheelchair since 1977.
“I can remember before the ADA was passed -- in the early 80s -- you would have to call to a movie theater, restaurant, any place to see if it’s accessible.
Now I assume it’s accessible,” Capozzi said. “I’ve seen a change in my own personal attitude: from thinking things were not accessible to expecting things to be accessible.”
