The Americans with Disabilities Center posts the Act, plus related regulations and documents.

The multi-volume Individuals With Disabilities Education Law Report (LRP Publication) provides compiles federal statutes and regulations, IDEA policy rulings, Section 504 policy rulings, federal and state court decisions, and SEA appeals decisions. The Report is available in print and on Westlaw (IDELR).

The Department of Justice Web page posts ADA regulations and DOJ enforcement and settlements on its A HREF="http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/adahom1.htm">ADA Home Page.

The Social Security Administration posts information on Benefits For People With Disabilities.

You can link to ADA-related materials through the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Laws, Cases, and Resources page in the LLSDC's Legislative Source Book.
