Disability - Programs and Services

www.Disability.gov - July 28, 2009 update 

  

The U.S. Department of Labor today launched www.Disability.gov, a redesigned federal Web site that connects the more than 50 million Americans with disabilities to thousands of trusted resources on disability-related issues, programs and services. Formerly known as DisabilityInfo.gov, the site has been completely redesigned and updated with new social media tools, such as a blog and a Twitter feed, to encourage feedback and interaction among visitors.

 

Www.Disability.gov is not just for Americans with disabilities; it is also for parents of children with disabilities, employers, workforce and human resource professionals, veterans, educators, caregivers and many others.

This site features comprehensive information from 22 federal agencies, as well as educational institutions, non-profit organizations and state and local governments. Topics covered on the site include: benefits; civil rights; community life; education; emergency preparedness; employment; health; housing; technology; and transportation.
