Disabled World News and Articles for People with Disabilities
Description
- Disabled-World.com is rated as the most visited disability resource website online. Content includes disability, health, and mobility aid reviews and articles that will be of interest to the disabled and elderly members of the community.
The Disabled World web site, based in Montreal Canada, was originally launched in May 2004 to provide a much needed international online community for people with disabilities.
Disabled-World.Com is an interactive website, with subject areas covering up to date news and comprehensive research on everything from helpful tips to disabled sports articles. These features plus the ability for visitors to post their own articles directly to the site make Disabled World an exciting up to date Disability Community.
With over 54 million people classified as disabled in the USA alone (The Census Bureau), Disabled World owners Ian & Lynn Langtree, a husband and wife team, saw the need to provide people with disabilities a website where the disabled of all ages and from all walks of life could unite on common ground completely free from membership fees and charges, share experiences, information and provide tips of assistance to the newly and life long disabled. Articles posted by members from around the world range from sad to the witty and entertaining, such as travel adventures and the frustrating and sometimes humorous side of traveling with a disability.
Disabled World believes in the Social Model of Disability, a belief developed by disabled people in the 1970's, the social model changes the focus away from people's impairments and towards removing the barriers that disabled people face in every day life. Disabled World is labeled as a family friendly site and is an associate member of The Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) which is an independent, non-profit organization whose main aim is to empower parents to protect their children from potentially harmful content on the internet.
A disability and health discussion forum, along with a disability dating section and several new health and disability chat rooms, allow people with disabilities a chance to communicate and get to know each other. Should a member be looking for a place to buy, sell, or trade disabled equipment, a classifieds service is available. Employers or people with disabilities seeking employment will also find a relevant category to submit their respective details.
Recently opened on Disabled World is a complete disability community social networking area where members can post photos and interact in a variety of different ways with other members.
The Disabled World team are more than happy to research material relating to articles or product reviews published if members seek further information on a topic. Disabled-World.com
