Ian Langtree: The Face Behind Disabled World

Background Information Regarding the Establishment of Disabled World

Ian Langtree grew up in Ensay, Australia, although he has lived in Broome W.A., Darwin N.T., and Cairns, Queensland Australia as well. Over twenty years ago he immigrated to Montreal, Canada.

In America alone, there are over fifty-four million individuals with disabilities. Recognizing this, Ian saw the need for a platform where people with disabilities, regardless of age or background, could come together free of charge. In 2004, he established the Disabled World website - (Learn more about Disabled World).

Since its humble beginnings, Disabled World has evolved into a comprehensive platform, offering a diverse range of information, disability community news, and an array of services tailored to its users' needs. It serves as a meeting point where individuals can access valuable resources, personal experiences, and helpful tips, fostering a sense of unity within the disability community.

Ian believes in the Social Model of Disability, a belief developed by disabled people in the 1970s. The social model changes the focus away from people's impairments and towards removing the barriers that disabled people face daily.

Ian truly cares about the people who come to Disabled World. If there is a subject that you are interested in that is related to People with Disabilities, Seniors, Family Members, Friends, or Veterans that are not already in the extensive collection of information, he is more than willing to research items.

You can contact Ian through the Disabled World contact page, or via his LinkedIn profile.
