Jason DaSilva
When filmmaker Jason DaSilva was diagnosed with MS, he realized that so many of the little things which we take for granted, like being able to meet a friend at a coffee shop, were now governed by the reality of his access to all kinds of public spaces. So he created AXSmap, an innovative mapping app which allows crowd-sourced real-world accessibility information to be provided to users on a building-by building level. Join us as Jason and Alice show us to how use AXSmap and together we make Woodstock the first fully accessibility mapped town in the country.
