The Recording Academy is proud of its Recording Academy Accessibility and Disability Network (RAA+D). RAA+D is dedicated to achieving true accessibility for everyone in our music community, going beyond mere compliance. RAA+D ensures that all members can fully engage in our programs by providing elements such as live ASL interpreters, ramps, and closed captioning, to name a few, thus including all attendees. RAA+D's initiatives are driven by a commitment to foster an inclusive environment where accessibility is a priority. Please see below for Accessibility options at Recording Academy hosted venues taking place during GRAMMY Week.
Current Programs/Initiatives

The Recording Academy technological features have been increasing ADA enhancements including the launch of the new website, using closed captions at the GRAMMY Museum’s exhibits, and have softwares with accessibility features.
