PIMP MY CHAIR! 2245 views USA
PimpMyChair.com was created for those who feel their wheelchair should reflect something about who they are. People who are in a wheelchair need to be able to “make it their own” without spending a fortune, sacrificing quality, or being limited to plain hospital-issued black. PimpMyChair.com recognizes that. I also wanted all of those items on one site without having to search many sites for items designed for the “young in spirit”. Because my son is in a wheelchair, I understand the rigors a wheelchair endures and that “making it your own” is a necessity, not a whim

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.
