FINDER Project (Expires 12/31/2024)
Project Description:
For those with disabilities and their families, trying to navigate a complex web of services, programs, and other disability-related community resources can be daunting. In November of 2020, IU's Indiana Institute on Disability and Community (IIDC) partnered with AWS Foundation of Ft. Wayne, IN, to implement Indiana Disability Resource FINDER as part of its library information and referral services.
FINDER provides 24/7 access to community services, is easy to use, and supports first-time users with a step-by-step guide. For more experienced users, it has advanced search features. Regardless of how information is located, search results are immediately available, can be saved for future use and shared.
FINDER covers a wide range of disabilities and topics of interest for every stage of life including direct care, education, employment, guardianship, social skills, and housing just to name a few. FINDER's rapidly expanding list of resources is constantly updated, and it's all ad-free – there will always be something new and useful to discover.
