The Complete Resource Guide for People with Disabilities
2027 Edition
Careful research and compilation of the best data available has earned The Complete Resource Guide for People with Disabilities the honor of being a repeat recipient of the National Mature Media Award and the National Health Information Award, as well as being a go-to resource among educators, librarians and the disability community.
This comprehensive resource opens with the following valuable front matter:
- Excerpts from an in-depth report on transportation barriers faced by persons with a disability
- A progress report from the National Council on Disability
- A detailed release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on labor force characteristics involving persons with a disability, using 2025 data
- User Guide and Key
- Glossary of Disability-Related Terms
Coverage continues with subject-specific listing sections (i.e. Arts, Assistive Devices, Camps, Vocational Programs), Rehabilitation Facilities, and disability specific sections (i.e. Aging, Cognitive, Mobility, Speech). Each disability section includes a range of resources from Associations to Support Groups. The comprehensive Table of Contents guides you through the 33 chapters and more than 100 subchapters contained in this rich resource. Following the listing chapters is an Annual Disability Statistics Compendium: a robust section of easy-to-read tables featuring the latest available data. The first part of the compendium features numbers of disabled individuals by both state and disability—hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, and self-care and independent-living disabilities—and the second part features individuals who are employed, broken down by the categories listed above. Sure to save hours of Internet research time, The Complete Resource Guide for People with Disabilities provides comprehensive, critical and immediate information in one source that can be accessed quickly and easily. This edition provides 8,962 descriptive listings, 22,248 key contacts, 8,381 primary phone numbers, 1,208 TDD/TTY numbers, 5,672 email addresses, and 7,981 websites.
