Regardless of who your choice was for President of the United States, one has to recognize the importance of what we have all been a part of for the past several months. Some things in life are just BIG. The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has the opportunity to make a BIG impact on the health and lives of people with disabilities with a new initiative called "Inclusive Fitness Equipment Standards." This major step toward equal access and opportunity to use fitness equipment for people with disabilities should help move an important issue forward in allowing people with disabilities to be as healthy and fit as they want. Read this month's FITT column at http://www.ncpad.org/fitt/fact_sheet.php?sheet=658 for more on the ASTM initiative.
