Hi, I’m Jon Haven. As a certified ADA Coordinator, I help businesses and religious institutions better accommodate spaces for persons with disabilities.

My Approach

Service Options

I provide a range of support options tailored to meet the needs of your organization. During the initial consultation, I will assess the needs of your congregation. My work can be as simple as a short Accessibility 101 lecture or a package that includes not only accessibility audits and advice, but also volunteer education sessions and referrals to helpful resources such as grants or architects that support your journey toward creating a space of belonging.

Collaborative

Before offering my services, I take the time to understand your values, mission, and goals to ensure that what I provide aligns with your vision and meets the unique needs of your community.

About Me

I built deep relationships with PWD years before I fully acknowledged my own invisible disabilities. In recent years, I granted myself permission to see my disability’s role in my identity. Before then, I minimized my access needs, internalized shame, and pushed through barriers I didn’t believe I had the right to address.

This shift of embracing my full self and acknowledging that I, too, deserve accommodations has transformed not just how I move through the world, but how I show up in this work. I advocate for accessibility because I know firsthand how life-changing it can be.

Beyond accessibility, I’m a proud husband to a fellow advocate and a bun dad to two rabbits. I’m also an actor, theater artist, and scholar. My stage work has earned awards, and my visual art has been exhibited at the Center for Mad Culture here in Chicago.

My work bridges art, research, and justice—centering the voices, needs, and full humanity of PWD. Whether through consultation, performance, or education, my goal is to help create spaces where all people are not only welcomed, but truly included.
