The CoDI Initiative is designed to bring together the multitude of sources for disability-related information from across the Internet, primarily podcasters, bloggers and disability information websites, in order to encourage and promote the growth of accurate and practical information on disabilities. By developing a community of authorship, the Consortium on Disability Information (CoDI) hopes to raise awareness on the current and future state of disabilities throughout the world.

For content developers, such as podcast authors, bloggers, etc. within the community, the CoDI Initiative focuses on the cross-promotion and coordination of "new media" outlets in order to maximize the breadth and depth of the information available to the Internet user.

For content seekers, the CoDI Initiative will help you find quality and reliable information on a diverse range of disability-related topics. Through CoDI's efforts, an integrated network of disability information will be available from a number of entry points, constantly updated and refreshed.
