Disaboom is a web site that provides the web service of acting as a online disability community you’ve been looking for. For people with disabilities, Disaboom’s lifestyle articles, blogs, forums, and health information provide shared knowledge about SCI, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other disabilities. Whether you’re an amputee, caregiver, disabled veteran, or interested in exploring adaptive sports, accessible travel, or any other disability-related topic you are welcome here.

This web site was founded by Dr. J. Glen House, a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation who is also a quadriplegic. His firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and those whose lives they touch has driven this service’s mission: to create the first comprehensive, evolving source of information, insight, and personal engagement for the disability community.

This web site is based on the following core beliefs:

1. Expertise comes in many forms: Often the best advice comes not just from medical experts but also from “peers” – others who’ve walked the path you’re on. That’s why in addition to providing solid medical expertise, they have also put together the largest online network of individuals to share their personal experiences with you, providing honest, practical answers to hard questions.

2. Knowledge is power and so is community: This service strives to provide you the tools and guidance you need to live active, engaged lives. But when it comes to sharing stories and personal insights, there’s nothing stronger than the power of community – which is why they are connecting the millions touched by disability to both information and each other.
