Disaboom Offers Five Tips to Live Forward With Disabilities

DENVER, CO, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
More than half of Americans would rather die than live with a severe
disability, according to a recent nationwide study by Disaboom (OTCBB:
DSBO) (www.disaboom.com), the premier online community for people touched
by disability. The Disaboom community wants to quash this tragic
viewpoint and instead, offer tools to live forward.

"I think most able-bodied people would say that they'd rather die because
they have no point of reference. So the thought of disability is scary and
intimidating," said Whitney Sivill, a Disaboom blogger. "But if they were
ever put in the situation, the majority would react like the rest of us --
go through the grief process, adapt and thrive."

With 21,000 daily site visits, disaboom.com offers people faced with a new
disability the tools, tips, and support they need to adapt, thrive, and
live forward. The site combines social-networking features similar to
Facebook.com with information of interest to people living with or touched
by disability, including medical news and lifestyle articles about job
hunting, dating, travel, political issues, accessibility, adaptive
driving, caregiving, and more.

"We want to share ways for people to understand that disability isn't the
end of life. It can be a new beginning," said Dr. Glen House, founder of
Disaboom and a quadriplegic himself. "By taking advantage of resources
such as disaboom.com, people with disabilities can find the information,
community, and connection that will enable them to pave a path that
supports new goals and dreams -- and determine the way they will choose to
live forward."

Based on experience with his own disability, House also offers five Tips
for Living Forward:

1. Look at what you can do and don't focus on what you can't.

2. Use your disability to your benefit.

3. Now prove you are using your disability to your benefit! No easy roads.
Work harder.

4. Look for people who are going through something similar and get their
advice. If you can't find someone, be a pioneer.

5. Connect and use resources.
