Disability Information On-Line
Although our core concern is with the health
effects of environmental exposures, we have long been aware that people whose
health has been harmed by such exposures often are in need of information about
disability-related laws and services. This links page in intended to meet that
need.
There are many sites on the internet devoted
to disability-related topics. We have selected about 100 items from the
thousands available for this page. We believe that these links provide a good
starting place for those investigating disability-related information on-line,
and that the links provided at the sites linked here can be used for further
investigation.
Information provided at the sites indicated
cannot take the place of professional advice. Individual sites selected for
this list and elsewhere often carry disclaimers. Users of such information are
wise to seek out and heed such disclaimers. Our role in providing this on-line
service is informational only. No endorsements, advice, encouragement or other
inference on the part of the user is intended by Julie or Jeff Evans.
Most of the sites listed below do not provide
information about specific disabilities. Visitors who are seeking information
about exposure-related disabilities are encouraged to refer to the page about
exposure and health.
