Resources for Supporting Young Children with Disabilities
STAR NET Region II and VI Resource List
Our Resource List is organized into categories and cross-categorized to serve both families and professionals.
Categories include:
Helping children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) find their voice- through education, research, and support networks. They provide training and educational opportunities for professionals and families, and online resources that include information on understanding apraxia, insurance issues, diagnosis and treatment, education, support resources, and a library featuring more than 250 articles on dozens of topics related to children with apraxia of speech. Information is also available in Spanish.
Almost Home Kids coordinates the community-based medical and social services for families with a child with medical complexities, while also providing respite care when needed in a home-like setting. They respond to the needs of families, train caregivers, offer respite care, advocate for accessibility and inclusion and educate healthcare professionals.
This guide is written for parents of children who receive or are suspected of needing special education and related services, teachers, education administrators and professionals, and service providers. Special education and related services are supports and services provided to children with disabilities. Certain procedures must be followed to determine if a child is eligible to receive special education services. Those procedures are written in federal and state laws. Special education laws and procedures can be complicated. This guide explains the requirements in a way that relates to all groups—parents, school professionals, and others.
