Ability Maine is a place for collecting and sharing information and opinions about living with disabilities. Our intent is to provide a place on the web for people to get information that will help them create better lives for themselves and others. We want to educate and provide resources that will contribute toward people achieving a better quality of life. Ability Maine aims to create resources for and by people with disabilities. Ability Maine was founded in 2000 by Norman Meldrum and Russ Anderson, both board members of Resources for Organizing and Social Change (ROSC), Ability Maine’s umbrella organization. Norm and Russ envisioned a web site that would provide news, information, and empowerment for people with disabilities in Maine. Norm and Russ worked together to create the Ability Maine site and its list of resources in those early years. Other regular contributors in the next few years were Steve Hoad and Sharon Wachsler. This group collaborated to create a website that was accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities that included resource guides and information for people living with disabilities in Maine. Sharon and Norm also launched the literary journal, Breath & Shadow, which is now run by Chris Kuell. Ability Maine continues today under the leadership of Ivy Quigley, Web Manager; Mike Reynolds, Investigative Reporter; and Sass Linneken, Content Editor and Web Consultant. Ability Maine’s content is created, curated, and published exclusively by people living with disabilities.
