Disability Info – a one-stop interagency web portal
www.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. This website
is a comprehensive plan that promotes the opportunity for
each person with disabilities to learn and develop skills,
engage in productive work, choose where to live, and participate
in community life. Designed to have comprehensive disability-related
government resources. There are tabs along the top of the
home page that connect to federal agencies, laws and information
for Employment, Education, Housing, Transportation, Income
Support, Technology, Community Life, and Civil Rights. Each
topic includes information about the federal laws that apply
to that topic, their application, and links to current projects
and publications.
