This resource directory begins with a list of U.S. Department of Education Regional Civil Rights Offices, which offer assistance on legal interpretation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), followed by a list of public and private groups providing general assistance to handicapped persons. The third section lists agencies that focus on specific handicapping conditions, including developmental disabilities, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, mobility impairments, psychiatric disabilities, and vision impairments. Organizations dealing with accessibility, legal information, preparation for independent living, and computers, adaptations, and technological devices are also included. A list of other useful directories and publishers is provided, and three major federal laws and amendments affecting the handicapped are summarized (Education of the Handicapped Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Vocational Education Act). Each listing includes the organization's name, address, and telephone number and a description of its services. An alphabetical index of organization names provides access to the directory's contents, and a list of toll-free telephone helplines concludes the directory. (JDD)
