We are expanding the special needs resource library as we go...for now we have provided information on the following areas:

  • Down syndrome
  • (CP) Cerebral Palsy
  • (MD) Muscular Dystrophy
  • (MR) Mental Retardation / Mentally Challenged
  • (SB) Spina Bifida

It does not matter if you are searching for the early signs of autism or seeking support systems for a child with Down syndrome... or simply planning for the transition to adulthood, seeking financial services, state or federal resources, community support...we have tried to break down each area by category so you are not faced with an overwhelming list of random links.  Here is what we found and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

The internet is such a blessing, providing each of us the ability to research, review options and connect with other people. However, the number of internet sites set up that provides links to other resources is astounding and can be overwhelming.  In my own search for information I constantly experience the frustration of out-dated or broken links, have been rail-roaded into advertising and marketing for things that may or may not work for my child and been vastly disappointed with the quality of support.   Please let us know if you discovery one of our links is broken @ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
