Overwhelmed
and overloaded?
 One
obstacle in advocating for a child with a disability is the time you need
to spend doing research. You need to learn about the child's disability,
proven methods of teaching and learning, rights and responsibilities,
and advocacy strategies.
We have spent a great many hours collecting information for you, so you
can spend your time learning, not searching.
Resource
Directories
To learn
about the child's disability, use the Directory
of Disabilities Organizations and Information Groups that includes
links that will help you get educated. To get
your state special education regulations and other special education
publications from your state, use the Directory
of State Departments of Education. For information
and parent training in your state, use the Directory
of Parent Training Information Centers. For legal
and advocacy information, use the Directory
of Legal and Advocacy Resources.
For international
organizations and information groups,
use the Directory
of International Resources.

mental health, discipline, zero tolerance and more, download the publications
from our Free
