The Internet is filled
with information to help people with disabilities live
independently - but how can
you
find it? Traditional search engines may be too
broad and indiscriminate; lists of links may be too small, too specialized, or
too unreliable.
Disability Resources, inc. is a nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization established to promote and improve
awareness, availability and accessibility
of information that can help people with disabilities live, learn, love, work
and play independently Disability Resources combs the web regularly to find
the best resources available. They review each site,
and then organize them by topic
or disability.
The Disability Resources Website WebWatcher
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. Go to the index at http://www.disabilityresources.org/DRMwwwINDEX.html and
enter the name of the disability you would like information about. List of
Illinois Resources for information about Specific Disabilities http://www.disabilityresources.org/ILLINOIS.html.
