Press Release Summary: Disaboom Expands Automotive Site with Greater Information on
Driving Equipment, Driving Skills and Auto Enthusiast Groups

Press Release Body: Denver, CO - April 18, 2008 - For many people, driving means
freedom; it's another step in obtaining independence and allows a person to get to
work or school, or participate in leisure activities without having to be dependent
on someone else. Recognizing the significance of this form of independence,
Disaboom, the largest online community for people with disabilities, today announced
the expansion of its automotive section with an emphasis on adaptive driving
equipment, driving skills and community participation.

The newly expanded resource covers topics including: "learning to drive again" and
"adaptive product information", as well as an area for auto enthusiast-related
topics, such as off roading information, details on racing and recreational vehicles
and camping news. Some of racing's greats including: paraplegic NASCAR driver Ray
Paprota, amputee race car driver Eric Hardin, and quadriplegic off-road racer Clay
Egan have their own blogs featured on the Disaboom site.

"Driving provides a level of independence that many people take for granted," said
Dr. Glen House, founder of Disaboom. "At disaboom.com, we provide the resources
people need to get back in the driver's seat."

Visitors to disaboom.com's automotive resource section will find information and
advice on adaptive driving equipment, what to look for when buying a vehicle, how to
buy equipment online and (re)learning to drive. Disaboomers can learn what to look
for when buying an adaptive vehicle, what adaptive equipment is available, and even
how to buy an adaptive vehicle online. In addition, there is a section for
automotive enthusiasts, covering the accessible outdoors, adaptive RV clubs, racing
and off roading. Disaboom also provides a social platform where members can
participate in automotive-related discussion forums as well as read members' blogs
or post their own.

Launched in 2007, Disaboom is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people
touched by disabilities, their friends, family, and caregivers. Visit Disaboom's
