From the website:  National Parks:  Accessible to EveryoneThe National Park Service has just launched a website to assist people with disabilities at national parks.  The site is called "National Parks:  Accessible to Everyone" and can be viewed at:  http://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/access/ .  From their website:  "from Padre Island National Seashore in Texas to Isle Royale in Michigan, and from Coronado National Monument in Arizona to Fort Union Trading Post in North Dakota – all visitors deserve the privilege of experiencing the significance of these and any of the other 391 units of the National Park Service."

The site lists places where signed interpreters can be arranged for the hearing-impaired and which visitors centers have captioned movies or services for visually impaired park-goers. There are also detailed descriptions of trails, including the type of surface, for visitors who have mobility handicaps or use wheelchairs.
