DisabilityResources.org is
a virtual library of information about websites serving the
disability community. It includes thousands of the best disability
resources on the Internet, selected and annotated by the
staff of Disability Resources Monthly and alphabetically
arranged by subject for easy access. This is a wonderful
site because it provides helpful reviews of the sites, not
merely links.
“Information is power! Most people with disabilities
can live, learn, love, work and play independently and in
the mainstream of society, but they often need information
to achieve their goals: information about legal rights, financial
resources, assistive technology, employment opportunities,
housing modifications, childrearing and educational options,
transportation and mobility services, and more. This information
is available from a wide variety of resources - nonprofit
organizations, government agencies, books, pamphlets, magazines,
videotapes, and online - often at little or no cost. Finding
it, however, isn't always so easy.
Disability Resources is a nonprofit organization that monitors,
reviews, and reports on these resources every day.”
Disability Resources combs the web regularly to find the
best resources available, reviews each site, and then organize
them by topic or disability. Disability Resources disseminates
information about available resources to consumers and family
members.
The
DRM WebWatcher is an easy-to-use online subject guide
to the best disability resources on the Internet. It features
hundreds of topics and disabilities, each on a separate
page. Each topic or disability page includes links to the
best web sites, documents, databases, and other informational
materials of national or international interest.
The
DRM Regional Resource Directory is a guide to state
and local agencies and organizations in the United States,
organized by state.
Family
Village is a global community of disability-related
resources. It integrates information, resources, and communication
opportunities on the Internet for persons with cognitive
and other disabilities, for their families, and for those
that provide them services and support. It includes informational
resources on specific diagnoses, communication connections,
adaptive products and technology, adaptive recreational
activities, education, worship, health issues, disability-related
media and literature, and much, much more!
The
Sexual Health Network provides easy access to sexuality
and disability related information and resources to help
support children and adults with disabilities, parents,
and professionals in this sensitive and specialized area.
Mitchell S. Tepper, Ph.D., M.P.H., is the Founder and President
of The Sexual Health Network.
