About

Life without limits.

Living Unlimited is a Canadian lifestyle website dedicated to one idea: disability is not the end of a full life. It’s often the beginning of a different, and sometimes better, one.

We write for people with disabilities, their families, and their support networks. Our focus is practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience. We cover adaptive equipment, assistive technology, accessible travel, outdoor recreation, independent living, and the tools and strategies that help people with disabilities build the lives they actually want.

What We Believe

We don’t write from pity or inspiration. We don’t use disability as a metaphor for overcoming adversity. We write about real life, the equipment that actually works, the products worth your money, the travel strategies that hold up when the accessible room turns out not to be accessible, and the honest conversations nobody else is having.

We believe:

  • People with disabilities are experts on their own lives
  • Access is a design problem, not a personal one
  • Good information, written plainly, changes lives
  • The disability community deserves better than inspiration porn and watered-down advice

The second of those is not just our opinion. It is the position taken in international law. The preamble to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which Canada ratified on 11 March 2010, recognizes that “disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.” The barrier is the thing that gets fixed. That is the assumption underneath everything we publish.

Who Writes Here

Living Unlimited is produced by a small editorial team with direct experience in disability, adaptive living, and accessibility. We do not publish sponsored content dressed up as editorial. Our recommendations are based on research, community feedback, and genuine expertise, not on who pays us.

You should not have to take that on trust, so here is how to check it. Our long-form guides carry their sources inline and in a Sources section at the foot of each one: as of 28 July 2026 all 24 published guides are sourced, with 228 external citations between them. Our older articles are a different story. Many were published without citations and we are working through that archive, correcting what is wrong and sourcing what is right. Where a page has been through that process it says so. Where it has not, treat the specifics as needing your own check, particularly prices, benefit amounts, and anything about a product that may have changed since it was written.

When we have affiliate relationships, we disclose them. When we receive products for review, we say so. You can read our full Disclaimer and Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Our Accessibility Commitment

A disability website that isn’t accessible is a contradiction. We hold this website to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That is the international standard for web accessibility, published by the World Wide Web Consortium as a W3C Recommendation on 5 October 2023 and also approved as the ISO standard ISO/IEC 40500. That is the standard we build to, and we are not lowering it.

You are entitled to know which parts of it we have actually checked, rather than which parts we would like to claim. As of 28 July 2026:

  • Machine-verified against the live site. Each page declares its language in the HTML; a “skip to content” link is the first focusable element; headings run in order under a single H1; every image carries an alt attribute, with decorative images marked as such; every visible form field has a programmatic label; and text and interface colours meet the AA contrast ratios, verified by calculation rather than by eye.
  • Not yet independently verified. Some things cannot be confirmed by automated inspection: full keyboard operability of every function, focus indicator visibility, resize to 200 per cent, reflow at 400 per cent zoom, screen reader compatibility, and the quality rather than the mere presence of alt text and link text. These need manual and assistive technology testing. We describe them as our standard and our intent, and we will publish the date and method of a manual audit when one is completed.

The full picture, including our known limitations and the dates we have committed to fixing them, is in our Accessibility Statement.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this website, please let us know. A report from a person actually using the site is worth more than any automated check, and we take those reports seriously.

Contact and Partnerships

We welcome thoughtful partnerships with brands, organizations, and services that genuinely serve the disability community. We do not accept paid editorial placements. If you’re interested in working with us, please get in touch.
