Disaboom launches disability organizations directory

From a Disaboom release:

Disaboom’s Disability Organizations Directory identifies over 300 organizations, ranging from local to international, that work to improve the lives of people with disabilities.

The Directory is divided into three categories: Major Disability Organizations, Disability-Specific Organizations, and Organizations for Living with Disabilities.

Major Disability Organizations includes the all-encompassing national organizations like the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and American Association on Health and Disability (AAHD).

The Disability-Specific Organizations section focuses on organizations (within 22 categories) that are geared toward a specific condition or disability, from cerebral palsy to spinal cord injuries.

The final section, Organizations for Living with Disabilities, includes those groups that cover all the ins and outs of everyday life, from organizations that help you learn to play adaptive sports to those that will make your transition as a college student with disabilities a little easier. This section’s 18 subcategories include accessible travel, caregiver resources, fitness and wellness, and service animals, among others.

Each organization’s listing contains brief information about the organization, its mission and services, and a link to the organization’s website. Both nonprofits and government agencies are included.
