"Any individual who has served as a force for change or helped to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities can apply for the 2014 awards. “It’s like the Nobel Prize for disabilities advocacy,” says John Kemp, CEO and President of The Viscardi Center. This year, the aim is to encourage more nominees who can give a “contemporary, international” face to the program, Kemp says."

There are prizes for peace, there are prizes for science and now, there is an award that pays tribute to leaders with disabilities. The Henry Viscardi Achievement Awards is in its second year, and while his name might not seem important—it is. Dr. Viscardi, who wore prosthetic legs, advised no les..…

"Some of the “accessible” listings are contradicted in comments left by Airbnb renters.
“The biggest advantage of the apartment is its awesome location in the East Village,” an Airbnb guest named Nadia wrote about a Manhattan one-bedroom that rents for $180 a night.
“The only thing to note is that the stairs up to the loft are pretty steep, so if you’re not super mobile, maybe think twice on picking this place.”

These Airbnb rentals are ideal for disabled tourists — as long as their wheelchairs have wings. Handicapped travelers who use the controversial room-rental service could be in for a rude awakening ...

The home has been on the market since mid-June and we've had some interested buyers. Unfortunately, two potential buyers thus far have asked how they can REMOVE accessible features that we know would benefit anyone, but particularly a wheelchair user. There's someone out there - someone with a disability who lives in NYC or wants to live in NYC, someone with a child or parent with a disability, someone who's aging and wants to age-in-place - who would truly appreciate an accessible home. PLEASE HELP US CONNECT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY BENEFIT. If you know of such a person, please have them take a look at our listing: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/30-Troy-St-Staten-Island-NY-10308/32341747_zpid/. It would really hurt us to see the accessibility features in our beautiful home go to waste. Thank you.

"I began with trying to find a home swap. I didn’t want to have to pay for a hotel and airfare, so I started scouring all the sites I have in the past…homeexchange.com and Homeforexchange.com. (It is the lack of accessible properties or reliable information on accessibility on these sites that inspired TravabilityProperites.com, where one can swap, rent or buy accessible properties worldwide.) I had to try to find something close by, a hard task, made even more difficult as I needed a wheelchair accessible, or at least reasonably so property.
So I started a new search for swaps in Barcelona and got lucky! A young, hip couple wanted to come to south Florida in August and said I could have their apt in the city in May. No car, but close to public transit and an elevator to reach apt. A nice tub for a soak after a long day of sightseeing…I am in!"
