Graceful Access is a consulting business led by Stephanie Grace, a legally blind traveler accompanied by her professionally trained guide dog. Stephanie’s team has over 75+ years of experience in service dog training and ADA service animal compliance, Graceful Access offers both on-site and virtual services to help businesses across industries including hospitality, dining, retail, and service sectors.

Our mission is to deliver expert evaluations, staff education, and ongoing compliance guidance to ensure businesses are not only legally aligned with federal standards, but also welcoming and inclusive to all qualified customers and guests. These services help protect companies from costly fines, public legal actions, and negative publicity, while fostering an environment of respect for individuals who rely on service animals.
