DisabilityInfo.gov, a site the federal government maintains for disability related information and resources, announced a new feature designed to make it easier to find more localized disability info. This new feature enables users to search for disability service organizations by subject.

This new feature, a state and local resources map, helps users search at the state and local government levels, as well as federal offices close to home, in every state and U.S. territory. One selects one of nine subject tabs on the homepage. You then click on a map on the right sidebar to find links in that subject area related to your state. You will be directed to easy-to-navigate information and numerous organizations and contacts.

“DisabilityInfo.gov provides Americans with disabilities a direct connection to information and resources they need to fully participate in the workforce and in their communities,” said Karen M. Czarnecki, acting assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy. “The U.S. Department of Labor and its partners in federal, state and local government are deeply committed to continue improving this award-winning tool in order to make disability-related information easily accessible to all Americans, especially in the communities where they live and work.”
