Description

• The National Rehabilitation Information Center (NARIC) is a federally-funded library and information center focusing on disability and rehabilitation. Our REHABDATA collection includes more than 70,000 documents and journals. Funded through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), NARIC also serves NIDILRR’s library and dissemination point for NIDILRR-funded projects disability and rehabilitation research. NARIC is committed to servicing anyone, professional or layperson, who is interested in disability and rehabilitation, including consumers, researchers, family members, health professionals, educators, rehabilitation counselors, students, librarians, and administrators. The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) operates as part of the Administration for Community Living at the US Department of Health and Human Services. Prior to the signing of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, NIDILRR (previously known as NIDRR) was one of three components of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) at the U.S. Department of Education and operated in concert with the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). It is the mission of NIDILRR to generate, disseminate and promote new knowledge to improve the options available to disabled persons. The ultimate goal is to allow these individuals to perform their regular activities in the community and to bolster society’s ability to provide full opportunities and appropriate supports for its disabled citizens. Toward this end, NIDILRR conducts comprehensive and coordinated programs of research and related activities to maximize the full inclusion, social integration, employment and independent living of individuals of all ages with disabilities. NIDILRR’s focus includes research in areas such as employment; health and function; technology for access and function; independent living and community integration; and other associated disability research areas.
