Assistive technology writer and disability advocate Suzanne Robitaille has launched a new website for people with disabilities, those who employ them, and those who seek to market to them.
Assistive Technology and Disability Employment Focus
Disaboom readers know Robitaille from an article on her role helping others find employment success through assistive technology. Now she’s taken her commitment to helping people with disabilities achieve independence another step forward with her new website, Abledbody.com.
Commitment to Greater Independence Through Assistive Technology
Robitaille is personally familiar with the issues related to living and working with a disability, having lost her hearing at age four and received a cochlear implant in 2003. Her website reflects her understanding of the broad-based “enabling” capability that assistive technology can offer across all aspects of life: her blog posts cover not only “tech talk” but also interviews with HR professionals, commentary on political, advocacy, and cultural issues, and news links to important disability-related stories.
The site’s intended audience is equally broad, embracing consumers with disabilities, disability and social organizations, HR professionals, and marketers hoping to tap this large and growing consumer demographic, among others.
Bottom line: Ablebody.com is an important and welcome resource on a topic – assistive technology – that is certain to become increasingly critical in the changing workplace.
