Until now, finding information for and about the disabled took researchers to a variety of different directories, many of which were out of print or out-of-date. With The Complete Directory for People with Disabilities , information needed can be found in a single, comprehensive resource that offers details about 6,000 of the products, goods, services and facilities that are available to lend a helping hand. There is detailed coverage on such subjects as assistive aids, residential and educational facilities, rehabilitation services, funding sources, job training programmes, periodicals, and more, contained in 17 subject-specific chapters. The large type and easy-to-read entries are designed to make this book a handy reference for the disabled, and their families and friends as well as for professionals in the field. Entries contain the name of the product, service, institution or company listed, as well as the address, and 800 phone numbers. Details in each entry suggest additional sources of furtner information, and the descriptions give clear snapshot profiles of the service, facility, programme or book referenced.
