Maryland Partners in Policymaking Class of 2006 Disability Resource and Information Page

This website was created by members of the Maryland Partners in Policymaking* Class of 2006. Coming in to the class they felt pretty knowledgeable about disability issues, but soon learned there was a lot of information they did not know. They thought it would be helpful to others facing the challenges of disabilities to consolidate important information they gathered through their personal experiences and the Partners class in one place to assist others. This site is meant to serve as a starting point with links to sites with more detailed information.
