Independence Science is a STEM consulting and access technology brand founded in 2009 by blind chemist Dr. Cary Supalo. With a focus on promoting STEM equity and inclusion for the blind and low vision community, Independence Science specializes in developing text-to-speech enabled scientific data collection interfaces.

These interfaces empower print-disabled students to have more hands-on quantifiable learning experiences in science laboratory environments, either individually or as part of a team. Independence Science's collaboration with Vernier Science Education, a pioneer in computer-assisted scientific data collection, has made hands-on science laboratory learning for the blind a reality. By actively seeking research and development collaborations with organizations interested in providing opportunities for the blind in STEM fields, Independence Science ensures that its products meet the needs of disabled students.

The brand also hosts the annual ISLAND conference on STEM and disability, which facilitates community outreach and promotes the inclusion of blind students in hands-on science learning experiences. Independence Science's dedication to creating science access tools and their notable partnerships and achievements make them a leader in promoting STEM education for the blind and low vision community
