CALLAHAN ON-LINE 2519 views USA
There's absolutely nothing funny about a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. Unless, of course, that person is John Callahan. For nearly a decade, this irreverent cartoonist has been shocking America with his own special brand of wicked humor. In the world of Callahan, nothing is sacred, nothing is taboo and nothing is funnier!

DALE ELLIOTT 3303 views AUST
Dale Elliott is not one to sit down and take life as it comes. A commercial pilot, businessman, comedy performer and extreme sport enthusiast, Dale lives and breathes his message. He does this all from his mobile launch pad commonly called a wheelchair. In 2002 Dale became a paraplegic after a freak motorbike accident and after only 60 of his planned 150 days in hospital was back at work! Dale put his knowledge as a commercial pilot and licenced aircraft engineer to good use but realised he needed something more, he felt an extreme desire to challenge himself again. In October 08, Dale became the first paraplegic in Australia & NZ to free fall skydive solo and land unassisted.

DAVID ROCHE 2019 views USA
David's face distinguishes him from all other presenters and motivational speakers. What really makes David unique, however, is his remarkable spirit, warmth, wit and authenticity. David has transformed the challenges and gifts of living with a facial disfigurement into a compelling message that uplifts and delights audiences around the world. The story of his heroic journey from shame to strength has inspired standing ovations from the Clinton White House to the Sydney Olympics Arts Festival, from most of the 50 states to Canada, England, New Zealand and Moscow.

BJOERN ESER & 'THE ACTIVE AMPUTEE' website 
 I am Bjoern Eser, the creator of The Active Amputee. I am a father of three amazing children, a husband to an equally amazing wife, a thankful cancer survivor, an outdoor enthusiast, a passionate development practitioner and a very active above-the-knee amputee.
I have set up The Active Amputee as a resource page from amputees for amputees. It aims to inform, it aims to inspire and it aims to engage. Nothing more and nothing less. It‘s as simple as that.
At the moment The Active Amputee publishes a new post once a week.

RAIDaptive DIVING website 
 The RAIDaptive program was designed to bring the sport of diving to persons with disabilities by adapting the RAID Open Water 20 course to the abilities demonstrated by the diver with disabilities. The RAIDAptive Course is designed to teach individuals with disabilities to become certified divers with the goal of using certified RAIDaptive Dive Buddies to compensate for those skills that they cannot independently perform. The student will be certified according to the following Designations:

Designation 1- The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries and Exits
Designation 2 - The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries, Exits, Emergency Ascents, Maintaining Positive Buoyancy at the surface by oral inflation of the BCD
Designation 3 - The student must be able to breathe continuously and monitor gas supply. The student will require assistance with all other aspects of diving.
To become a certified RAIDaptive Open Water diver, the students need to have basic swimming skills, be comfortable in the water, and should be in a good overall health, have a mature attitude, sound judgement and self-discipline to follow the guidelines that they will be taught for safe diving.
Medical clearance from a registered diving Doctor is also required

JAIMEN HUDSON - 'THE VIEW IS BETTER FROM UP HERE!' website 
 I have always been passionate about the outdoors, as a youth my days were filled with activities like riding dirt bikes, skateboarding, surfing and scuba diving. Learning to dive at age 10 only added to my love of the ocean. In 2008 I had an accident that left me a quadriplegic and in 2014 I became interested in drone photography and videography, although I wasn't sure I would be able to use the remote controller due to my reduced hand function. Since then though I've been lucky to have my work featured in many prominent media outlets and publications and have also won the Western Australia 'Young Achiever Award' in 2018. I hope you enjoy what you see...!

LONELY PLANET ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL PHRASEBOOK website 
 All travellers will get more out of their trip by being able to speak a few words of the local language, but for people with a disability it’s often vital to be able to explain your particular needs. Since standard phrasebooks are unlikely to contain the language you need to talk about needs around disability we’ve gathered together some disability-specific words and phrases and translated them into as many different languages as we practically could. Although things are slowly changing for the better, there are still plenty of barriers to travel for people with a disability – language doesn’t have to be yet another.

TOM DOUGHTY - LAP GUITAR TUTORIALS website 
 These tutorials have been developed by Creative United and Tom Doughty to offer an introduction to playing Lap Guitar. Specially created to accompany workshops on his tour of the UK’s 12 Spinal Injury Units in early 2019, these tutorials are for anyone with limited upper limb movement.

Creative United is part of a consortium with OHMI, Drake Music, Youth Music and OpenUp Music, whose aim is to make music and musical instruments more widely available, particularly to disabled people for whom playing a conventional musical instrument may be difficult or impossible.
