Education

DisabilityInfo.gov (www.DisabilityInfo.gov) is a federal Web site designed to offer people with disabilities and many others access to the information and resources they need to live full and independent lives in the workplace 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, employers, educators, service providers and many others.

Easy to navigate, DisabilityInfo.gov is organized by subject areas that include benefits, civil rights, community life, education, employment, health, housing, technology and transportation. In particular, the Web site's Education section links to information from many sources that support youth with disabilities transitioning from school to work as well as useful resources for educators and parents of students with disabilities.

With 22 federal agencies contributing content to this Web site, including the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), DisabilityInfo.gov contains extensive, frequently updated information on a host of cross-cutting topics. Information of particular interest to the disability community includes links to resources on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), college opportunities for people with disabilities, and school-to-work transition resources for parents and educators.

DisabilityInfo.gov also offers a free subscription service where you can sign up to receive DisabilityInfo Connection, our quarterly newsletter, as well as other e-mail alerts covering information tailored to your individual interests.
