Membership in DPHD has numerous benefits. Publications DPHD members receive include:

	Physical Disabilities - Education and Related Services - This annual publication provides professionals in the field with information on relevant research, instructional innovation, and current issues.
	DPHD Newsletter - A quarterly publication reporting on business and convention meetings and highlighting topics of current interest.

Other membership benefits include the Elizabeth Wetzel Memorial fund to provide scholarship assistance to undergraduate and graduate students in preparation programs in physical and/or multiple disabilities.
