DisabilityInfo.gov (www.DisabilityInfo.gov) is a one-stop federal Web site designed to offer people with disabilities access to the information and resources they need to fully participate in school, the workforce and in their communities. Managed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) (www.dol.gov/odep), DisabilityInfo.gov offers a broad range of valuable information, not only for people with disabilities, but also their family members, service providers, employers and many others.

With 22 federal agencies contributing content to this Web site, DisabilityInfo.gov contains extensive, frequently updated information on a host of cross-cutting topics. Easy to navigate, the Web site is organized into subject areas, which include benefits, civil rights, community life, education, employment, health, housing, technology and transportation. By selecting a category from the tabs at the top of the home page, visitors to the Web site are directed to practical information on grants, scholarships, internships, professional development opportunities for teachers and much more.

The Education section of the Web site links to educational programs and resources available throughout the federal government, including Individualized Education Programs (IEP's), transitioning from school-to-work and guides for special educators. Examples of specific links for students include a guide for understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), details about ODEP's High School/High Tech Program, which provides opportunities for students with all types of disabilities to explore exciting careers in science, mathematics and technology. The Education section is also an excellent resource for parents of students with physical or developmental disabilities.
