Do any of you people with disabilities do freelance work from home or write fiction or anything else?

Just to have something to do when you’re bored, or to have extra income since your SSI or SSDI, or Social Security payments are a struggle to live off of? I mean, for those of you who have psychiatric disabilities that prevent you from being able to work around other people, limited mobility or cognitive disabilities, or even blind or deaf or have any other disability?

Many elderly people have disabilities which limit their mobility. Do buses, shops and public buildings in?

your county provide easy access for the disabled or are your towns and cities designed mainly for the young and able-bodied? Why is this?

What opportunities exist for people with disabilities to volunteer abroad?

I really want to volunteer abroad, but I have some minor mobility disabilities and health problems. Are there any volunteer abroad programs that are accommodating to people with health problems/disabilities? Thanks!

Scooter poll : do you think people whose only real disability is being overweight should be provided with…?

..those motorized scooters or wheelchairs that elderly people often use? I work in a hospital environment, and I often see people using the motorized scooters (the sit down kind), and their only “disability” appears to be that they are overweight.

Do you think people with weight issues should be provided with scooters like that? Doesn’t it only discourage exercise, and perhaps even make the problem worse? What do you think?
