In 1977, the Office for Individuals with Disabili-
ties originated within the Office of the Governor as
the Office for the Coordination of Services to the
Handicapped (Chapter 946, Acts of 1977). The
Office was reorganized in 1984 as the Office for
Handicapped Individuals (Chapter 295, Acts of
1984). It received its present name in 1991 (Chap-
ter 103 Acts of 1991)

The Office identifies and evaluates programs and
services for Maryland citizens with disabilities. It
coordinates and supports public and private agen-
cies serving people with disabilities, and provides an
information and referral service.

The Office identifies and recommends ways to
remove barriers to the delivery of services. It moni-
tors and encourages State government compliance
with laws and policies that affect persons with dis-
abilities. At least quarterly, the Office also consults
with and provides technical assistance to the Mary-
land Advisory Council for Individuals with Disabili-
ties. In addition, the Office promotes the
designation of local or regional offices to coordinate
services to persons with disabilities. Authorization
for the Office continues until July 1, 1994 (Code
State Government Article, secs. 9-1101 through
9-1110).

Within the Office for Individuals with Disabili-
ties are the Maryland Advisory Council for Indi-
viduals with Disabilities, the Maryland State
Planning Council on Developmental Disabilities,
the Governor s Committee on Employment of Peo-
ple with Disabilities, the technology Assistance
Program, and a staff specialist for the deaf and hard
of hearing.
