        Illinois Yellow Pages for Kids with 
          Disabilities 
           
          We designed the Illinois 
          Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities so people who love and 
          work with our children can get reliable information, support and connect 
          with one another. You will find different kinds of resources on this 
          page - government programs, grassroots organizations, and support groups. 
          To make it easy for you to find the information you need, we organized 
          these groups alphabetically.
