[1] Making Your Way Around the BarrierFreeChoices Website:

In the next few pages, you will learn how to use our Information Service to quickly find what you need and locate a wide variety of barrier-free resources, in your neighborhood or even in a city or town you may have never visited before.

Our site is quick and easy to navigate.

You can access most Resource Groups and major Topical Sections directly from our Navigation Page, and also through numerous cross-references throughout our site.

"Resource Groups" are collections of resources that meet specific basic human needs, i.e., food, housing, clothing etc. Each Resource Group opens with an Entry Screen that provides a brief explanation of what you can find within that Group. From the Entry Screen you can go directly to that Resource Group's search page.

Topical Sections generally consist of several pages of information on a topic, arranged in sequential order. Each Topical Section begins with a Menu Page.

Individual pages of a Topical Section contain navigation buttons at the top of your screen to help you move rapidly from page to page within that Section to find specific information you want, or return to that Section's Menu Page.

First and last pages of each Topical Section include a link back to our Navigation Page.

This "How to Use" section you're reading right now is a typical example of a Topical Section.

And if you ever get lost, you can always return to our Home Page by clicking on our "wheelchair through the doorway" Logo (top left corner of most pages). So you're never going to be lost for more than a few seconds.

Please understand that BFC is not a "disability" website. We're a service that helps you live your life to the fullest extent possible, despite whatever disabilities you may have.
