The United People With Disabilities web site shows videos dealing with disability subjects and situations. Anyone that can access the Internet can watch these programs from their home or location at any time and free of charge. We add new programs on a regular basis and are always looking for new videos to show. Our web site is currently receiving, on average, 28 first time visitors per day.

 

Do you have a video that we can show? If you don't have a video, we will edit one that you shoot. We are looking for videos that show a company's product or service. We are looking for videos that show the accomplishments of people with disabilities. We are looking for any videos dealing with disability subjects or situations. You don't have to be an expert to shoot your own video. We will give you how-to tips.

 

Some of our current programs are...

Jeff Charlesbois: "Sit Down Comic"

 

Pacer: A parent training and information center for families of children and youths with all disabilities.

 

Cheryl Marie Wade: Poetry reading.

 

Freedom's Wings: Learn about an organization that offers people with disabilities a free ride in a glider.

In A Little Boat: Exciting footage about how easy sailing is for people with disabilities. See someone with severe Cerebral Palsy easily sail alone. Includes description on how the boat was designed.

Northeast Passage: Action shots of people with disabilities participating in sports and recreation.
Achilles Track Club: How important is exercise after Traumatic Brain Injury?

Tim Baley: This is a remarkable story. Tim is a concert pianist who was born with Cerebral Palsy and slight mental retardation. Tim performs for, and does, a duet with Liberace.

 

Plus more.

Six million wheelchairs take to the skies each year and only five million complete their journey intact. Half of all frequent wheelchair flyers have had to contend with damage to their mobility devices on a trip - so many, that complaints about wheelchair damage rank among the top ten Department of Transportation issues related to treatment of people with disabilities.

At Haseltine Systems Corporation, that's unacceptable! That's why we created The Flyer, the first and only high impact, lightweight, portable case that armors your chair against damage. More info at..... http://www.haseltine.com
