"About heath" says:

The HEATH Resource Center of The George Washington University, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, is the national clearinghouse on postsecondary education for individuals with disabilities. Support from the U.S. Department of Education enables the clearinghouse to serve as an information exchange about educational support services, policies, procedures, adaptations, and opportunities at American campuses, vocational-technical schools, and other postsecondary training entities.

HEATH participates in national conferences, training sessions, and workshops; develops training modules; publishes resource papers, fact sheets, directories, and website information; and fosters a network of professionals in the arena of disability issues.

In operation since 1984, HEATH was acquired by The George Washington University on October 1, 2001, and responds annually to thousands of electronic, mail, and telephone inquiries. HEATH resource papers, fact sheets, guides, and directories focus on topics such as accessibility, career, development, classroom and laboratory adaptations, financial aid, independent living, transition resources, training and postsecondary education, vocational education, and rehabilitation. HEATH is one of three clearinghouses authorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to provide specialized educational information to people with disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them.

The clearinghouse gathers and disseminates this information to help people with disabilities reach their full potential through postsecondary education and training.
