Normanet is a disability information network provided by the Information Center of the Japanese Society for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities, a public interest incorporated foundation. It shares information from organizations across Japan with people with disabilities, their families, and others involved in disability support. Through its website and mailing lists, Normanet gathers and distributes a broad range of useful information and provides a network for users to exchange information with one another.

The site offers searchable listings of registered information providers and disability-related organizations, organized by categories such as disability groups, support services, welfare facilities, employment, assistive technology, sports, travel, and public agencies. Organizations can apply to publish a website on Normanet or use mailing-list services, which are offered free of charge. User support includes password changes, FTP file-upload guidance, and frequently asked questions. The site also provides service information, application guidance, usage terms, and a privacy policy. Normanet connects visitors with related resources from the rehabilitation association and other organizations, including disability research, accessible information, and advocacy networks.
