The US Goal for the IYA2009 is: To offer an engaging astronomy experience to every person in the country, nurture existing partnerships, and build new connections to sustain public interest. NASAís commitment to the IYA2009 US goal is demonstrated by their support of accessible programming and materials developed to reach every person in the country including differently-abled individuals. The members of NASAís Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador Program have been utilizing these accessible programs and materials in schools and science centers in addition to offering accessible star parties to the public. This paper will present some of the materials and techniques used by Ambassadors to bring astronomy to every person. Accessible programming will ensure that the next generation of explorers will include diverse individuals from all walks of life.
