Ability Foundation is a bridge between people with and without disabilities

What is disability

Why should options in education courses be restricted for people with disability

Benefits in preparing a city for people with disability

How technology helps people with disabilities

Corporates can appropriately employ people with disability

Software for people with disability should be accessible

Treat people with disability as anyone else, don't isolate them

There is nothing like 'normal' or 'special' or 'challenged' or 'differently abled' -- why compare

People with disability want a level-playing field, to be able to do what they want to do

People with disability want a level-playing field, to be able to do what they want to do
