What is Disaboom anyway?

Disaboom.com was founded by Dr. J. Glen House, a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation who is also a quadriplegic. His knowledge of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and those whose lives they touch has driven the Disaboom mission: to create the first comprehensive, evolving source of information, insight, and personal engagement for the disability community.

The site provides information on sports, mobility, technology, travel, parenting, education, entertainment, veterans, as well as basic information on a list of conditions that would surprise almost any visitor. The site also offers a community forum, news and information on jobs.

Check out Disaboom, I want to hear your thoughts on the site.
