As mentioned above, Disabilities Central Magazine will include a wide variety of themes including articles, stories, pictures, jokes, reviews and even favorite special diet recipes. Would you like to contribute? Email me, using the address below, with your submission.

Disabilities Central Magazine is looking for articles related to all aspects of disabilities, such as information on new helpful products, or information/tips about your particular disability and how you handle certain issues pertaining to your disability.

Reviews related to places (vacation spots, restaurants, colleges, recreational venues of any kind), are being accepted also. The review should include details of whether or not the place was accessible and was the staff there friendly and helpful?

Would you like to submit your fictional story, favorite photos depicting yourself engaged in some activity, a poem or favorite special diet recipe of yours? We are accepting those as well.

All submissions must be disability related. You must be disabled in some way in order to have your submission accepted. Any work submitted must be "clean" and "G" rated, since children may happen to come across this site. A short bio of yourself along with your submission is greatly appreciated.

I hope you enjoy Disabilities Central Magazine. Be sure to send e-mail to let me know what you think (or to contribute articles or ideas). I'll be updating frequently, so check back often!

People with disabilities have abilities too and that is what this course is all about - making sure those abilities blossom and shine so that all the dreams you have can come true. - Mary McAleese

Assistive Technology – an independent life for everyone

By: Ken Wilson

Not depending on others is very important for every human being. As technology progresses everyday and the development includes specially designed devices and equipment, everyone can now enjoy an independent life style. Even people with disabilities can have a better life, avoiding frustration or incapacity to communicate. Assistive technology is for a great help for those who need to feel secure when they are by themselves, even if they have certain disabilities. Our assistive technology products meet their needs and offer an alternative for a better life. Communication for example, is one of the biggest problems for people with disabilities, but our assistive technology products make it easier. Even if your problem is about hearing, seeing or moving around, the solutions we offer can solve any type of problem related to physical challenges.

We also offer you a great variety of products as furniture, software, workstations or switches, specially created for an independent living. You can enjoy assistive technology products in your own house and anywhere you go, avoiding frustrations and difficulties you were exposed to before. Assistive technology is even for people who suffer from Parkinson, Lou Gehrig’s Disease aka Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Multiple Sclerosis. All the products we recommend are easy to use, the technology being adapted to every special need. Now, deaf-blind people will be able to communicate between themselves or with other people because assistive technology makes it possible.

If you want to make your children’s life easier, now you can do it with the help of special communication software or CDs that contains all kinds of information about social activities. Eating out, shopping, transportation are some of the social activities children need to learn about before they go out. This and some other assistive technology products can help your children have a better, independent life, even if they have some disabilities. It’s important to mention that these teaching products are not only for children, but also for people who have found themselves, all of a sudden, in the undesirable situation of an accident that has affected their health.

Our furniture is designed for people who need better access in the kitchen, bathroom or in the bedroom and for those who need special workstations in their homes or offices. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable at your desk anymore, because now you have the perfect solution, easily accessible through an online order.
