Disaboom Puts People with Disabilities Back In the Driver's Seat with Deeper Resources on Adaptive Driving
Disaboom Expands Automotive Site with Greater Information on Driving Equipment, Driving Skills and Auto Enthusiast Groups
Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 19, 2008 -- For many people, driving means freedom; it's another step in obtaining independence and allows a person to get to work or school, or participate in leisure activities without having to be dependent on someone else. Recognizing the significance of this form of independence, Disaboom, the largest online community for people with disabilities, today announced the expansion of its automotive section with an emphasis on adaptive driving equipment, driving skills and community participation.
The newly expanded resource covers topics including: "learning to drive again" and "adaptive product information", as well as an area for auto enthusiast-related topics, such as off roading information, details on racing and recreational vehicles and camping news. Some of racing's greats including: paraplegic NASCAR driver Ray Paprota, amputee race car driver Eric Hardin, and quadriplegic off-road racer Clay Egan have their own blogs featured on the Disaboom site.
"Driving provides a level of independence that many people take for granted," said Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom. "At disaboom.com, we provide the resources people need to get back in the driver's seat."
Visitors to disaboom.com's automotive resource section will find information and advice on adaptive driving equipment, what to look for when buying a vehicle, how to buy equipment online and (re)learning to drive. Disaboomers can learn what to look for when buying an adaptive vehicle, what adaptive equipment is available, and even how to buy an adaptive vehicle online. In addition, there is a section for automotive enthusiasts, covering the accessible outdoors, adaptive RV clubs, racing and off roading. Disaboom also provides a social platform where members can participate in automotive-related discussion forums as well as read members' blogs or post their own.
Launched in 2007, Disaboom is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people touched by disabilities, their friends, family, and caregivers. Visit Disaboom's automotive resource section, at www.disaboom.com.
