Where Can
I Find Additional Information
On A Specific Disability?
| Sometimes it is
hard to find enough information about a specific diagnosis
or special challenge. The following is a list of some of the
many groups, information lines, and associations providing
information for families and professionals. We have provided
a link to the websitewhenever possible. For organizations
that do not have websites, we have provided phone numbers.
Some of these organizations offer assistance, newsletters,
parent-to-parent support, information and resources. An asterisk
(*) after an organization's name indicates that there is a
related group or chapter in at least one of the counties covered
by the WarmLine. See "How can I get in touch with other
parents?" for some local support groups and organizations.
You can get a more complete list by calling the WarmLine or
check out the most recent edition of the WarmLine Networker
Newsletter.
“Sp”
means that the website is also available in Spanish.
