Websites for reference from Caroline

Hi everyone. Here are links to some websites I mentioned last Friday.

ricability
- all sorts of reports on equipment and ways of making life easier for disabled people - browse their reports for practical solutions and recommended equipment, plus names of manufacturers

soundbeam - break the beam, make a sound - a site using this sound technology

Architectural Symbols and Signs
- braille signage from the company Architectural Symbols and Signs - the only UK manufacturer to currently use high quality metals (copper, stainless steel etc) for their signage - meaning they can be more aesthetically pleasing than plastic options

london print studio
- this print studio is designed to be accessible for disabled artists - well worth a visit if you want to check out some height adjustable tables. They are very friendly, if you call before visiting someone would be happy to show you round (do call first as they often run workshops so there are times a visit would not be convenient)

Disability on the web (a small selection, please note some are an aquired taste and not to be regarded as gospel or representative of the views of all disabled people). Some of these sites have messageboards - they're worth a look to get a feel of what some members of the online disabled community think about life in nitty gritty detail, the universe and everything!

Disability Now magazine

BBC Ouch!
