Jason has created a new smart phone tool and website called AXS Map.
AXS Map helps people who use wheelchairs find and rate accessible places. This two-minute video explains how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzF22RQpofA&context=C4803ecdADvjVQa1PpcFPOzpVmHy9Vk_23rh4DUbMeXbUzudzQ3c0%3D
Before AXP Map goes public, Jason is looking for people to test AXS Map and give feedback.
This is Jason’s official invitation to you to become a tester; it won’t take much time and you can do it from home.
If you would like to be a tester, please contact Jason at jason.dasilva@axslab.org, and he will get back to you with all the information you need.
Jason has a number of smart phones to loan to those who don't have one--for the purpose of testing AXS Map.

Mitch here. As you may know I recently purchased a hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Home to Angkor Wat- A World Heritage Site. We have been working to make the hotel wheelchair accessible as it is all on one floor in a villa style. All the ramps have just been completed which is great for me as well as I can freely move around our spacious land. Please take a moment to view our tour website- http://www.lotus-journeys.com/

Ben Trockman was an athlete and competed in motocross races for years. But things changed during a 2006 race when he crashed on his motorcycle and the resulting spinal cord injury left him paralyzed.
Read Ben's story and watch his movie.After months of intensive rehabilitation during his junior year of high school, Ben longed to return to his hometown of Evansville, Indiana. He started intensive physical therapy at Easter Seals. A team of therapists, rehabilitation engineers and technologists helped Ben's parents make their home accessible.
Ben graduated high school and is now a junior in college. Everyday, innovative technology helps him to get into his van, take exams, write papers and keep up with friends online.
When he graduates and finds a job, Easter Seals can help Ben with accommodations in the workplace. "If you find the right field and apply yourself, there should be no limitations," he says. "The key is for people to see past the disability.":
