Community for People with Disabilities

Video Details: Everyday millions of people sit down at their computers or pick up their phones and log on to one of the most influential phenomenon's to capture our society; the social network. It's hard to remember a time when Facebook, Myspace or Twitter was not a part of our daily lives. Since its inception almost a decade ago, the social networking craze has taken the world by storm. So why has our society become so captivated with this internet sensation? I believe the pure and simple answer is that it allows us to connect, share and relate to each other no matter what differences we may have or how far apart we may live. Budding entrepreneur Scott Sussman and graphic designer Ron Bercume are now adding to this phenomenon by creating the first social networking platform for people with disabilities and their families. Ilivewithadisability.com (ILWAD.com) is the pioneer social networking platform of its kind, empowering the people with disabilities and their loved ones with the tools and resources they need to live a happy and fulfilling life. At ILWAD.com you are not defined by the limitations of your disability, instead you are defined and celebrated by what you continue to overcome.
