The Binnacle

THE BINNACLE

The binnacle is the case that holds the ship’s compass and navigational tools. It is usually near the helm of a ship so that it can offer guidance when clouds obscure the astronomical cues.

Founded by Aldea LaParr, the Binnacle is a lifestyle and resource publication where disability is centered and celebrated as diversity. Here the challenges that come with living fully as a person with a disability are embraced with gusto, joy, and humor.

We are grateful for the opportunity to subscribe to this publication and host it on our website.
