This sad but optimistic story appeared in the NYT. A man from Barbados who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy is rarely able to leave his second floor apartment because the building has no elevator.

For anyone with mobility problems this issue will hit close to home. Finding accessible housing is extremely difficult, and difficulty getting in and out of the home can contribute to people with disabilities becoming shut-ins.

    Dusty (CrassPip) received a master's degree in special education in 2005. That same year he broke his neck, putting him in the 'disabled' category himself. Due to this experience and his computer background, this blog will focus on disability, especially assistive technology and SCI news.
