AbleRoad: Using Technology and Crowdsourcing to Help People with Disabilities

By Guest Blogger Kevin G. McGuire, Founder of AbleRoad and CEO of McGuire Associates Accessibility is something that people with disabilities (PWDs) never take for granted. As an active person who uses a wheelchair and travels quite a bit for work, I know firsthand how much planning, research and frustration can go into a trip across town or across the country. I have arrived at many restaurants and booked many hotel rooms, only to discover their facilities were not as accessible as I had been told on the phone or informed on a website.  http://usodep.blogs.govdelivery.com/2013/12/09/ableroad-using-technology-and-crowdsourcing-to-help-people-with-disabilities/
