If in Alabama, try Disabled Veterans of America/Alabama(?).\nThey give away small household items (ex. kitchen shears) for donations.

Look in your local newspaper - sometimes they post meetings in a "Community" section or in the Classifieds.  You may want to call some local churches or libraries to see if they know of any groups.\n\nIf there aren't any, perhaps YOU can start one.  Sometimes having clinical expertise isn't what is needed - sometimes you just need to know people who are going through the same thing!\n\nGood luck to you!

Yes there is most communities have centers to help with this, such as groups, hospitials, ect. i would start by contacting a hospital, or contacting your local United Way to see what resources are out there. I know where I live all we have to do is dial 211 for information on Community needs and where to go to get help for these issures.

Justin, be honest about being disabled.  Check out places like netfriendships.com  and create your home page.

Probably at your local Department of Social Services or check with local churches, rescue missions, women's shelters, etc.

i would contact the praxis.org and see what accomodations if any are made for those w/disabilites. if there aren't any, then i would suggest finding a tutor to work with.

You might want to try looking in all surrounding cities and your city at their recreation listing I work with a power soccer team and a a sport camp for handicap children through the city I live in.  The recreation departments usually have teams or camps for special needs children.

Try calling a local Center For People With Disabilities Office, or a Center for Independent Living, Vocational Rehabilitation, something like that, the names are different everywhere.  I'm sure there is one in your area.  They can help someone with a condition to get employment.

A good place to start is by contacting the nearest senior center. Also try community education. Local churches are another good place to try. They usually have senior groups and activities at churches as well as Bible studies. The United Way may have some references.\n\nSenior centers frequently have bridge and other card games, board games, sewing/needlework, crafts, pool, exercise classes, off-site trips to places of interest. They also usually serve a noon lunch for a reasonable price or even free if a need exists.\n\nYMCAs have all sorts of senior activities including aquatic exercises.\n\nSome older women join the red hat society. Its a social group where they where red hats and purple clothes and go on fun outings.\n\nCommunity ed classes can include all sorts of subjects such as bridge, computers, art. \n\nAnything that helps physically, emotionally, or spiritually is of benefit. I've seen people who are really depressed from loss of a spouse open up and blossom after getting involved in senior activities and developing a new network of friends.

Hey!  We really like a site called SLS.  It will allow you to do a search & show you many ppl are in your immediate area, as well as different listings of clubs & events like Meet & Greets in your area.  You can join for free, and it really serves as a great way to find others you may be interested in.  Good luck, and happy swinging :)
