PLEASE READ FIRST:
The majority of the resources listed below are tied to Public Service Announcements provided to radio stations.

Approximately 60 million Americans live with some form of disability. With 1 in every 5 people living with a disability, it’s important that Americans remain informed about disability and chronic health problems. Below you will find downloadable resources and helpful websites on a variety of topics, including health and wellness, community involvement and civil rights. With the right tools, together we can create a nation that embraces people affected by disability and advocates on their behalf.
