Focus on Disability was started in 1999 by David Cross as a not for profit web resource for advice, information and contacts for disabled people, the elderly and their carer's in the UK.
David's interest in disability issues stems from 10 years working in Occupational Therapy Departments and Orthopaedic Workshops in North Staffordshire. He trained in engineering and is a member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET).
Apart from the information and advice on the site, available by using the homepage category links, "Search Site" function or sitemap, help is offered by email via the "contact" link . All outbound links have a relationship or usefulness for those people with a disability, elderly or their carers. Most requests for inclusion on the site are turned down as being unsuitable for the sites intenton of being solely devoted to disability issues.
As well as the information and advice pages, the site now offers access to a comprehensive selection of aids and equipment for disabled people and the elderly and also a wide range of health and nutritional products and therapies.
The site is well supported by all major search engines and continues to grow, being constantly monitored and updated.
The "contact" link is always available for any suggestions or views regarding the website.
