After having
been involved with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing market for several years, the
founders of Mouseability Richard Hartman and Jamie Berman were asked to
develop a business directory for all disabilities and after several months
of research Mouseability was launched in May 2005.Mouseability
identifies businesses and organisations that positively welcome disabled people
and ensure that these companies are aware of their responsibilities under the
Disability Discrimination
Act. Through their research, they have established that many people
feel awkward or even frightened when meeting a disabled person for the first time;
this is because people are sometimes afraid to say or do the wrong thing. To
help overcome this problem, Mouseability has developed, in conjunction
with the appropriate charities and organisations, an easy to read Disability
Awareness Information Pack which they hope will educate people to say or do
the right thing! Many visitors to the site are looking
for recommended companies that provide products or services, such as Stairlifts,
Hearing Aids, Bathing Equipment, Accessible Kitchens, Car Adaptations, Wheelchair
Accessible Vehicles, Wheelchairs, Mobility Scooters and Motability Advice.
Mouseability also operate a Home Visiting service for the housebound,
including a visiting Optician, Doctor, Dentist and Chiropodist Mouseability
has, however, now developed into an information site for everyone, as through
their many contacts nationwide, able bodied people also use their Business Services
section when looking for companies as diverse as Loss Assessors, Accountants,
Solicitors, Car Dealerships, Garages, Insurance Companies, Independent Financial
Advisers and even Debt Advice Companies! We hope you find Mouseability
as interesting and informative as we found when putting it all together.
