> GOV. RIDGE LAUNCHES ACCESSIBLE PA -- AN INNOVATIVE ONLINE RESOURCE FOR
> PENNSYLVANIANS WITH DISABILITIES
> Urges anyone seeking information about services and programs for
> Pennsylvanians with disabilities to visit: www.accessiblepa.state.pa.us
> HARRISBURG (April 29) -- Gov. Tom Ridge today announced a powerful new
tool
> that provides information about Pennsylvania's services and programs for
> people of all ages with disabilities, their families and support
providers.
> Accessible PA -- at www.accessiblepa.state.pa.us -- provides one-stop
> shopping for information on a wide range of services, benefits and
> programs. Visitors can log on for information about education, housing,
> transportation, vocational rehabilitation, employment, health care,
> home-and community-based services, and children's services.
> "In 1997, we launched Pennsylvania's historic Disabilities Agenda -- our
> first comprehensive initiative to explore ways that state government can
> break down barriers and create more opportunities for people with
> disabilities to participate in their community," Gov. Ridge said. "As
part
> of this initiative, today we launch Accessible PA."
> This innovative online resource can be used by anyone seeking information
> about programs for Pennsylvanians with disabilities and was designed to be
> accessible to everyone with disabilities. In fact, it was created with
> their help and the help of service providers.
> "While Accessible PA delivers content that everyone can access, this is
> just the beginning of our work to strengthen our website accessibility.
> All state agencies are working to make their websites fully accessible."
> Accessible PA is a joint effort among the departments of Aging, Education,
> Labor and Industry, Health, and Public Welfare -- the state agencies with
> the greatest number of programs serving Pennsylvanians with
disabilities --
> in cooperation with numerous Pennsylvanians living with disabilities and
> representatives from more than 30 service and advocacy organizations.
> Gov. Ridge's historic Disabilities Agenda -- launched in May 1997 -- is
> Pennsylvania's first comprehensive, government-wide program to explore
ways
> state government can break down the barriers that prevent Pennsylvanians
> with disabilities from being included in the community. The plan covers
> issues involving transportation, housing, education, employment, long-term
> supports and health care.
> Accessible PA can be accessed through the PA PowerPort, www.state.pa.us.
