RevTilt

This is for the US currently, but looks like it has the potential to become REALLY big. :)

About RevTilt
RevTilt is a platform to collect information and reviews about whether businesses are accommodating of customers with special needs. This first version is helping those on the Autism spectrum.

Users benefit from the reviews left on sites like Yelp, while also benefiting from a parallel set of reviews from other users with similar constraints.

Scenario
Imagine you are a parent of a child who is on the autism spectrum and that you are out of town visiting relatives. Your child has cut his/her own hair and you need to find a barber to give your child a haircut. Searching Yelp for good salons or barber shops won't give you sufficient information. You want to find a barber who will be accommodating of your child's special needs.

Open Data
This is an open platform. The software is open source and available on Github. This data collected using RevTilt will be made available so that developers can create amazing tools like mobile phone apps and web services that are built to help people like you.
