Finding accurate information about disability services presents a challenge to people with disabilities and their families.
Through the Mapping Information Ecology project, Myeong Lee, an assistant professor of information science and the director of the Community Informatics Lab at George Mason University, worked with the Virginia Board of People with Disabilities (VPBD) to study the issue. His work resulted in a report included in VBPD’s 2024 Assessment Report Series, “Information Ecology of the Disability Services System.”
“This report series is used as key resources for many Virginia government agencies in making meaningful changes in their policies about disabilities,” said Lee. His report maps the system that manages and disperses information regarding disability services and makes recommendations about how to improve the management of the commonwealth’s disability services.
The Mapping Information Ecology was covered in a previous article, “Myeong Lee’s information network research will guide the Virginia Board of People with Disabilities.”
