About this listen

In this episode of Remaking Normal, Alexander Freeman explores how assistive technology is transforming the way people with disabilities work, communicate, and thrive in the modern world.

Alexander sits down with Shamus Crowley, founder and CEO of the Boston-based technology company Accessabl, a pioneering startup dedicated to creating digital tools that bridge the gap between accessibility and opportunity. Together, they unpack how innovation can empower independence — and how technology can challenge outdated assumptions about ability and employment.

They also reflect on a powerful question at the heart of the series: How do we define “normal” — and what needs to change about the norms that shape our workplaces and our technology?
