Resources and Links
The internet has given us a wealth of resources at our fingertips. From disabilities to book lists to laws to home education, I frequently provide clients with informative links or articles to help them better understand the systems within which they need to work and resources available to meet their child's needs.
I am working on this list and it will change from time to time. Initial links here relate to curriculum resources, state laws, and other educational and advocacy organizations.
