Abstract:
Collecting disability-related information in order to prevent and treat specific disabilities is important and necessary, but does it meet the major needs of individuals with disabilities? This article presents preliminary research performed to assess those needs as well as a Disability-service Assessment Database (DAD) model. This model provides local disability service data and surveys users so that their input is used to modify existing data. The content of the database and Web site are discussed and diagramed. A major goal of the DAD is to serve as a model to other communities.
