U.S. launches new disability website


Press release from the Department of Labor:

The federal government has launched a new website called Disability.gov, offering comprehensive information about programs and services geared to the more than 50 million Americans who have disabilities.

The new website aggregates information from 22 federal agencies and contains thousands of links. It was unveiled in conjunction with the 19th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Formerly known as Disabilityinfo.gov, the site includes mechanisms for encouraging interaction and feedback, and new ways to organize, share and receive information. It is organized into 10 subject areas: benefits, civil rights, community life, education, emergency preparedness, employment, health, housing, technology and transportation.
