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.
