Special Resources for Families Educating Special Kids
Meeting the educational needs of special kids at home is complex and always a work in process. Whether dealing with kids who have intellectual challenges, physical difficulties, aren't meeting developmental milestones, or a combination of issues, figuring out where to find resources or how to get appropriate help can be very difficult. That's what this page is for. We want to help you find the help you need, for whatever may be going on. This page is still under development, and few of these resources will be faith-based (simply because few faith-based resources exist), but they can provide invaluable help, support, and encouragement.
CFHE has not necessarily vetted these resources or organizations. They have been recommended. If you see a resource or organization missing, please send an email to [email protected] to make recommendations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the Cerebral Palsy Guide: Cerebral palsy is a disability caused by brain damage that restricts normal movement and coordination. Each year, 10,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy Guide provides free educational materials, financial options, and support to help those affected by this condition.
