Dr. Glen House is the co-founder of an online community exclusively targeting those with disabilities and those whose lives they touch. He brings a personal insight to this as he became a quadriplegic nearly 2 decades ago after a skiing accident. Disaboom.com made its debut in 2007 and has components including health information, living forward with a disability and community, where you can blog, meet others, create a network and share stories.
The disabled community-including those affected (an estimate of 54 million) medical professionals, relatives, friends, employers and coworkers affected- is huge, estimated at 180 million and growing. The greatest need within this community is sharing information. The website topped one million hits in November.
