TRENDING NOW

‘Superhumans’ Ad for Paralympics an Instant Classic

It may be the most infectious and entertaining video ever made about the abilities of elite athletes, musicians and everyday people with disabilities. If by some chance you are not one of the 25 million people who have seen it, consider it immediate required viewing for the whole family. At three minutes, it’s long by viral standards, but it’s worth every joyful and unabashedly inspirational second.

PRO TIPS

ABLE Accounts Open Pathway Out of Poverty

If you are on SSI or Medicaid, you know all about the unfair $2,000 asset limit that’s prevented you from saving money. But did you know that if you acquired your disability before age 26, that limit has changed drastically? You can now save up to $100,000 if you are on SSI and $300,000 or more if you are on Medicaid. And you can get started today.

Painful Shoulders Don’t Always Require Surgery

A torn rotator cuff can quickly ruin an active lifestyle, but some tears don’t require going under the knife — or a dreaded nursing home recovery. You may be a candidate for a series of injections known as platelet rich plasma therapy. PRP uses a concentrate from your own blood and ultrasound imaging to inject healing nutrients and growth factors right into the tear.
