This Gopher provides information on national, state (NY), local (Buffalo), and university (SUNY Buffalo) sources of disability information. Of interest here are resource guides from NARIC (National Rehabil- itation Information Center) on how to deal with various disabilities; government documents including the ADA (described earlier in this guide); and other national information sources on disabilities.

I hate to put this site last alphabetically because it's the most comprehensive index to disability information on the Web that I've seen. The focus here is on accessibility for the disabled; this site claims to be a 'first-stop-shop' for disability information; updated weekly (or close to weekly, anyway). Related web sites are organized by category, and the online library includes articles on assistive technology and links to online journals. A listserv associated with this site discusses products for assistive technology: send e-mail to majordomo@webable.com with the message 'subscribe adapt-products-annc' in the text of the message. Highly recommended.
