A demand for improving access to public spaces for people with disabilities exists. Community-Engaged Dissemination and Implementation (CEDI) aims to improve adoption and uptake of research outputs and relies on stakeholders sharing community insights, priorities, wants, and needs. The objective of this manuscript is to describe methods for engaging community members on the dissemination and implementation of an application (app) suite designed to crowdsource ratings for accessibility of restaurants. A three-pronged approach for CEDI was used and included Participatory Action Research (PAR), a Community Engagement (CE) Studio Session, and the creation of Community-Engaged Outreach Events. Guidance from our CEDI informed our approaches for app rollout ensuring the data is accurate, comprehensive, and useful on a local level. The CEDI approaches (1) supported plans for community-wide adoption of the app suite, and (2) can be adapted by projects focused on the needs of people with disabilities.
