Disapedia
Disapedia was created by Peter O'Connell on May 21st 2007. It was spurred on by the belief that, while there were many fantastic resources on the internet for disabled individuals, many were neglected, outdated and inaccessible. His belief was that a centralized location maintained by a community of disabled individuals would insure that the information on the website always remained up to date and could help ease the lives of other disabled people
