Collaborative Information Centers

NICHCY is a part of Collaborative Information Centers, a consortium of six national information centers that provide information on disability-related issues. We meet regularly to discuss our work, our current projects, and our plans for future projects to assure coordination, share resources, prevent duplication of effort, and avoid gaps in information. Together, the Collaborative Information Centers represent a major focus on information collection, referral, and dissemination in disability-related fields. To learn more about these services and publications, please contact the individual clearinghouses.
