Products are always evolving (hopefully for the better!) and Disaboom is no exception. Now, a change Disaboom is considering is that of dedicating resources to produce focused channels of content. The following items are possible channel candidates. Which of the possible channels below would you be most interested in?
Lifestyle. Topics in the Lifestyle area currently include Accessible Home, Aging with a Disability, Assistive Technology, Caregiving, Dating and Relationships, Military Life, Parenting and Family, Sports and Recreation, and Travel and Transportation. Lifestyle includes feature articles, how-to pieces, personal narratives, individual profiles, and short, actionable “info briefs.” Examples of these types of articles are “Functional Kitchens Have Universal Appeal,” “Tired of Typing? Try Talking to Your PC,” “I’m an Ironman,” (a profile of Trish Downing, the first female paraplegic to compete in an Ironman-length triathlon), and “How to Talk to Your Doctor about Pain.”
Marketplace. This category provides information related to purchasing goods and services, with articles and evaluations in the areas of Accessible Home, Technology, Travel and Transportation, and Assistive Technology.
Entertainment. The entertainment category provides up-to-date articles, reviews, interviews, and insider commentary in the areas of Television, Movies, Books, and Music – from both disability and mainstream perspectives.
News. The news category features current health-related news articles, gathered using real simple syndication (RSS) feeds that deliver articles from numerous sources domestically and internationally to Disaboom.
Resource Center. The resource center provides basic but critical information such as Disability-Related Benefits, Disability-Related Laws, Emergency Preparedness, Organizations, and Disability-Related Information Resources.
free stuff for everyone!
but seriously, I've always enjoyed the Lifestyle type content and there are some really cool blogs too!

I'm new here but I would be very interested in lifestyle & Sporting news.

I'm new to disaboom. I am a Trauma Brain Injury Survivor. This site would better if Disaboom posted services like financial (ie: budgeting or something similar) also I would really appreciate it if Disaboom would put up some professional information. Also, it would be GREAT if Disaboom's site for Careers and such would be more user friendly. Many of us I know are disabled (I LIKE TO CALL IT 'DIFFERENTLY-ABLED') and it would be great if Disaboom were updated more often. I visit this site a lot but I don't see any "CURRENT UPDATES" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAINTAINING THIS SITE. MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS Jim4783k1@yahoo.com again, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!!
I feel like I would enjoy the resources more, but I like all the content I have found so far, this is a great site,I am also new here,Thank you for the upkeep of this site ,
I personally think that Ron Paul is the man to set this country straight.
What does Ron Paul have to do with improving this website?
My question exactly as well!!!
I"m fairly new to this site and have enjoyed it so far. i would love to see a page with people's profile as much or as little as they want to put on it. i love meeting people from the area's i live in or visit. it fancinates me to see where people are from that come to one spot .
this site can be a very educational tool as well to educate us as to what services are out there for people with disabilities or parents with children with disabilities or other family members.
if i can be of any help just yell loud lol.

I agree Barb-the option to provide a more detailed profile would be alot of fun. Several times I've clicked on a members picture and unless they have a blog, there's really nothing specific individually that can be shared with others. I'd also love to see the option to upload even a few pictures of ourselves. The profile pictures are so small that you can't really get a good idea what anyone looks like. A more central place to put a picture or two makes more sense to me than just relying on the occassional thread to share pictures.
Barb and Kara, that sounds good to me. Maybe in a questionaire format. I'm down with it!
Doc, I agree and by the way, thanks...from all of us.
I agree, too!!! It would be great to know each other better. It would also help new injuries to realize that life goes on, we just have to do things differently.
1 Lifestyles
2 Resource Center
3 Marketplace
In this order.
Thank you
