NM DISABILITY FINDER
New Mexico has initiated a self-help and self-empower tool, called a "FINDER," for public access for disability resources. It is a "one stop shop" aiming to streamline all resource information disability families may need in New Mexico.
NM is the 3rd state that has a finder for disability resources.
Anyone can add to it, claim services, add services. It relies on our collaboration as all of us add to it, build it, and make sure it is up to date. It is a connector. The FINDER offers information we can choose from.
Q&A has videos on how to use the FINDER. This includes information about how the site collects and stores information.
Languages. Right now it's Spanish translations, NM is working on Native American languages.
