Legislative Updates

At WarmLine, we are aware that as parents, we are all busy with our daily lives...there never seem to be enough hours in the day for our children's various activities (both therapeutic, educational and recreational), work and our own "time out".  However, our children need our support and advocacy more than ever!

We are providing links to websites that are meant to provide families, professionals and the community with resources to explain upcoming legislation that will influence the delivery of services to children with special needs.  The links will help you understand pending laws and program changes and will give information on how you, as parents and professionals who are involved in the lives of children with speical needs, can make your voices heard by your elected officials.

WarmLine does not endorse any opinions, services or programs listed, nor is this a complete listing of available resources and websites.  If you know of any additional resources that may be helpful to include in the future, please contact us.
