About us

Begripsam's aim is to make society more accessible. Above all, we work on increasing accessibility for people with cognitive difficulties.

Begripsam started in September 2016. We are both a member association and a consultancy company. We want to contribute to universally designed products and services that meet the needs of all users:

• We develop and apply methods so that everyone, regardless of ability, can participate and influence how products and services should be designed.
• We do research and we develop and perform usability tests. We hold seminars, lectures, training courses and lead workshops.
• We are active within both Swedish and European standardization processes.
• We regularly carry out tests to improve the accessibility of products and services, websites, apps, texts, and the like. Since the pandemic, most collaboration is done digitally - and it is going at least as well!
• We run our own projects and participate in collaborative projects with others.
• We are experts on inventory of libraries, to help them become both cognitively and physically accessible to everyone.
