Web Links and Resources for the Disabled
DisabilityInfo.gov is a government website providing "access to disability-related information and programs available across the government on numerous subjects, including benefits, civil rights, community life, education, employment, housing, health, technology and transportation". The site is managed by the US Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy, in partnership with 21 other federal agencies. It is the result of an Executive Memorandum issued by President George W. Bush on August 28, 2002 as part of his New Freedom Initiative which directed federal agencies to work together to build a one-stop interagency web portal for people with disabilities, their families, employers, service providers and community members.
