Assistive Technology Partners

Assistive Technology Partners  is a program through the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus.  Their mission is “…to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve their highest potential through the use of assistive technology, by providing exemplary clinical services, consultation, education, research and innovative technology development.”  There is a wealth of helpful information on their website.   Thank you Elmer George for bringing this program to my attention.

Wheelchair World.org

WheelchairWorld.org    “….is a collection of reviews and information, found through intensive Internet research or submitted directly to Wheelchair World, that help wheelchair users and other Persons of Reduced Mobiilty (PRMs) to be better informed of the accessibility at their destination of choice and to feel more confident when traveling to, from and around the destination.”   Thank you Susie Twydell for contacting me about this useful source of information.

Forest Camping

The National Forest Campground Guide is produced by Fred and Suzi Dow.  They do address accessibility.   From their site:  “As of May 9, 2012, Fred and Suzi Dow have completed research on 155 national forests, 20 national grasslands, 1 national tallgrass prairie and 2,383 developed campgrounds. Some information also provided for dispersed camping locations. Research of campgrounds with 10 or more designated sites in all national forests in the U.S.A. is completed.”
