The guides cover such issues as assistive technology, employment, fair housing, health care, special education, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and more. These guides are not a substitute for legal advice, but may provide you with valuable information to assist you in advocating for yourself. Many of the guides are currently available on-line in PDF format. If there are guides you are interested in receiving that are not on-line, they can e-mail them to you. Please request the guide by its corresponding number (as shown on their website) and specify which format works best for you (Wordperfect, Word, HTML).
