The Disabled and buzztouch

As most of you know, I have a disability. I have been a disability advocate for close to 25 years. I would like to get more people with a disability to create Apps. This would be great for buzztouch because I cannot think of any other website or any platform in creating Apps better than buzztouch. I believe in buzztouch! I have created a disability blog in my first step toward this objective. I will advocate for people with disabilities and advocate for using buzztouch. Both are dear to my heart! http://laappdeveloper.com/disabilityblog/ LA

Good stuff @LA. over here in UK we are slowly getting rid of the "Disabled" tag. Now being advised to say "Less Able" as it seems more respectful. Done a couple of courses at previous jobs on awareness on the subject. Certainly opens the eyes a little on the broad spectrum of ability challenges people face, lots of things fall into it from mental to physical. Good luck with your mission.

@Mr stuck, Thank you! Too many challenges and creating an App should not be one. LA
