>
> The U.S. Department of Labor today launched Disability.gov, the federal
> government's Web site for people with disabilities, their family
> members, veterans, caregivers, employers and others. The new site,
> previously called DisabilityInfo.gov, features comprehensive information
> about disability-related programs and services, as well as social media
> tools to better serve the more than 50 million Americans with
> disabilities.
>
> Disability.gov's social media tools encourage interaction and feedback
> from visitors, and offer new ways to organize, share and receive
> information. Visitors can sign up for personalized news and updates,
> participate in online discussions and suggest resources for the site.
> New features include a Twitter feed, RSS feeds, a blog and social
> bookmarking. Additional social media tools will be added to the site in
> the months ahead.
>
> The new site includes user-friendly ways to get answers to important
> questions on finding employment, job accommodations and other topics.
> The site is organized into ten subject areas: benefits, civil rights,
> community life, education, emergency preparedness, employment, health,
> housing, technology and transportation. By selecting a category,
> visitors are directed to useful information on federal and state
> government programs and services, news and events, grants and funding
> opportunities and more.
>
> Disability.gov, an effort led by the Department of Labor's Office of
> Disability Employment Policy, contains thousands of links to reliable,
> trusted information from numerous federal agency partners, as well as
> educational institutions, non-profit organizations and state and local
> governments. It is an important resource not only for Americans with
> disabilities, but also for the parents of children with disabilities,
> employers, workforce and human resource professionals, veterans,
> military families, caregivers and many others.
