- POCKET GUIDE TO FEDERAL HELP FOR
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
-
- Produced by the:
- CLEARINGHOUSE ON DISABILITY INFORMATION
- OFFICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES
- U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
- ROOM 3132 SWITZER BUILDING
- WASHINGTON, DC 20202-2524 1993
-
- FOREWORD
-
- For more than eighteen years, the POCKET GUIDE TO FEDERAL
- HELP FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES has been one of the
most
- widely distributed publications produced by the U.S.
Department
- of Education and its predecessor, the Office of Education
in
- the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Since
its
- inception in 1980, the Department of Education has
committed
- itself to ensuring that all individuals with disabilities
- achieve their full potential as productive,
fully-contributing
- members of our society. The publication of this booklet is
part
- of this continuing effort.
- Written for people with disabilities, their families, and
- service providers, this publication contains information
on
- government-wide benefits and services for which
individuals
- with disabilities may be eligible. As we publish this new
- edition, it is our sincere hope that it will reach the
wide and
- varied audience for which it is intended, and that it will
- increase awareness and provide useful information.
- Knowledge is often the first step toward empowerment. We
- believe that the information contained in this POCKET
GUIDE
- will begin to empower those who read it with the knowledge
they
- need to achieve independence, which is not a privilege in
our
- country, but every person's right.

- PREFACE
-
- This booklet is meant to make you, an individual with
- disabilities, or the parent/guardian of a child with
- disabilities, aware of the principal government services
for
- which you or your child may be eligible. This revised
edition
- describes benefits applicable specifically to those who
are
- blind, deaf, or developmentally disabled. These persons
are
- also eligible for the general benefits as outlined in this
- booklet.
- Because so much of the federal contribution to services
- for individuals with disabilities is made to states -- and
the
- states determine how to spend the money, within certain
- guidelines -- it would be impossible to pinpoint exactly
what
- you will find in your own state or locality. What we have
tried
- to outline for you in this guide is the general scope of
- federal support for services to individuals with
disabilities.
- Included are the names and addresses of the various
federal
- agencies that can steer you to their state and/or local
- counterpart offices. You may also wish to contact us for a
- listing of key agencies in your state. These agencies
should be
- your starting point for exploring the services available
to you
- where you live. Write to the Federal Headquarters if you
are
- unable to reach your state service agencies directly.
- States and localities may provide services which are
- financed out of their own resources. These are not
discussed in
- this guide. To find out about any of these special
programs,
- contact an information and referral center in your
vicinity to
- help put you in touch with the array of services for which
you
- may qualify.
- We hope this guide will alert you to the variety of
- services which may be of benefit to you and that it will
get
- you started on the road to contacting those that are
pertinent
- to your needs. Every time you call a state or local
agency, we
- suggest that you ask for the names of other people or
agencies
- that might also be helpful. You may accumulate a number of
- useful and helpful contacts in this way.
-
- VETERANS
-
- If you are a veteran with disabilities and want to know
- about the many programs available to you, apply to your
nearest
- Department of Veterans Affairs field office, or write to:
- Department of Veterans Affairs
- Washington, DC 20420
-
- PROGRAMS FOR LOW INCOME, INDIAN, OR ELDERLY POPULATIONS
-
- If you are an American Indian, a person over 65, or a
- person with little or no income, you may qualify for
additional
- programs based on factors other than your disability. For
leads
- on tracking these down, call your local welfare office,
your
- local public housing authority, or your Indian tribal
housing
- authority. If you are elderly, you may be eligible for
special
- nutrition programs such as Meals on Wheels, or for other
- special services. The federal government provides funds
for
- area resource centers for the aging, usually listed in the
- Yellow Pages under "Aged" or "Elderly"
or "Social Services."
-
- A WORD OF ADVICE
-
- Use this booklet to help you track down the appropriate
- agencies nearest you. Remember, not every service is
available
- and not every person can be helped 100 percent. Keep in
mind
- that every year new programs begin and some old ones end,
- particularly at the state and local levels. Keep in touch
with
- your contacts and stay as aware as you can, through
reading and
- talking to knowledgeable people about what is happening in
the
- area of services to individuals with disabilities. There
are
- many excellent voluntary organizations, as well as state,
- local, and federal offices that can help you. Numerous
- newsletters are produced by groups of and for individuals
with
- disabilities.
- We hope you will take advantage of all these avenues and
- that your search for assistance will be a fruitful one.
-
- PROGRAMS FOR SPECIFIC DISABILITY GROUPS
-
- Special programs and benefits for blind and deaf
- individuals are listed in the appropriate section (e.g.,
- vocational rehabilitation or education). Since the Program
for
- Developmental Disabilities encompasses medical assistance,
job
- training, and social and other services, and is
administered by
- a special state agency, it is described below.
-
- PROGRAMS FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED INDIVIDUALS
-
- The developmental disabilities (DD) program makes use of
- existing services in health, welfare, education, and
- rehabilitation to provide for the long-range needs of
people
- with developmental disabilities. These disabilities are
defined
- as severe, chronic disabilities attributable to mental or
- physical impairment, which are manifested before age 22,
result
- in substantial functional limitations in several areas of
life,
- and require services over an extended period.
- Availability of services will vary in all communities, and
- services can include diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.
