[6] The "Resource Group" Concept:
Barrier-Free Choices
... in Your Neighborhood!
The barrier-free resources listed on our Information Service are arranged and grouped the way you think, based on marketing studies and conversations we've had with hundreds of disabled consumers over the last decade:
• First, they are grouped into general areas, called "Resource Groups," according to BASIC FUNCTION (i.e., resources that generally meet a particular basic human need - like eating, for example).
• Within each Resource Group, you will find several "Search Categories." More specific, but limited to a sensible number within each Resource Group. Nobody likes to go through hundreds of topics in a single menu.
• Enter your Zip Code, define a search radius (i.e., how far you're willing to go), choose a category and select whatever additional search criteria you prefer, and you're there!
In a second or two (depending on your connection speed), you can find the products and services you need, if available in your search area, sorted by their distance from your home. Or your friend's home. Or wherever you might happen to be visiting.
Not just "somewhere" in that City, but NEAR YOU!
Close! Convenient! And they're ALL barrier-free!
