Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities
We
built the Pennsylvania
Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities so people can get reliable information
and support.
The State
Yellow Pages has many useful resources - evaluators, educational consultants,
academic tutors, support groups, grassroots organizations, advocates, attorneys
and others who help parents get services for their children. If you
provide a service, sign up to be listed on the Yellow
Pages for Kids with Disabilities - this is a free service from Wrightslaw.
