As we approach the 18th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) I'd like to bring to your attention some recent developments relating to DisabilityInfo.gov. This Web site, a collaborative effort among twenty-two federal agencies, was developed to provide access to information and resources that enable people with disabilities to fully participate in the workforce and in their communities. DisabilityInfo.gov contains comprehensive information on cross-cutting issue areas including employment, benefits, housing, transportation, health care, education, civil rights and technology.
Over the past couple of months more than 2,000 new links to state-level resources have been added to DisabilityInfo.gov. The site’s enhanced State and Local Resources Map now offers even greater access to information about programs and services available in the states and communities where individuals with disabilities live, work, attend school or are seeking employment. The State & Local Resources Map is located in each of the site’s nine key subject areas. You may begin a search of resources in your state simply by clicking on the map in the Employment section of the site: http://www.disabilityinfo.gov/digov-public/public/DisplayPage.do?parentFolderId=9.
