Links to to Special Education Resources

While all children are individuals with varying needs and strengths, many wonderful people have lead the way in discovering information and ideas on how to help children of different learning styles achieve their true potential.  This is a list of websites, which we hope will give parents and educators another tool to enable a child to discover their true gifts through the special education process. 

(Many websites change daily so all links may not be accurate.)
