DisabilityInfo.gov

On August 28, 2002, President George W. Bush issued an Executive Memorandum 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 other community members. The full text of this memorandum may be found at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/08/20020828.html.

DisabilityInfo.gov is the result of this collaborative effort. You may visit the website by clicking on either the icon or the link below:

It is a comprehensive online resource specifically designed to provide people with disabilities with the information they need to know quickly. The portal provides access to disability-related information and programs available across the government on numerous subjects, including civil rights, education, employment, housing, health, income support, technology, transportation, and community life.

There are many features planned for the future, so check the website often or join the subscriber list to receive notification as additions are made to the site.
