The Featured Disability Link

For the current featured link we'd like to call your attention to an excellent regional resource at DisabilityInfo.org.  DisabilityInfo.org offers extensive resources in Massachusetts for individuals with disabilities, their families, and professionals in the field. 

Key resource links include:

• Search Databases for disability programs and services in Massachusetts
• Locate an Information Specialist in Your Area for help finding disability programs & services
• Locate Generic Emergency Services on other Web sites, State Agencies Serving People with Disabilities who live in Massachusetts
• Read General Information on Resources and Benefits compiled by the Governor’s Commission on Mental Retardation
• Read Disability News related to Massachusetts, the United States, etc.

Our hunch is that the "Search Databases for disability programs and services in Massachusetts" feature is the most popular.  We tested a number of different searches and were pleased with the targeted results returned. On the results page(s), you select a consultant or a program/service and you are directed to a page that offers details such as: address, phone, areas served, population served, age groups served, licensure, fees, accessibility and more. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) currently posted range from "Where can I find funds for home modifications (e.g., ramps)? to "What is an Independent Living Center? The link, Databases on Other Websites, on the homepage takes you to Massachusetts Resources for People with Disabilities, an extensive list of up-to-date links (on our visit it had just been updated).

DisabilityInfo.org is well-designed, clean, and lean.  The Site Map fits on one screen and is logically categorized.  We recommend a visit to DisabilityInfo.org if you are in Massachusetts and are seeking resources for individuals with disabilities.
