Children With Disabilities
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Well-organized links to federal and state resources.
Jointly sponsored by nine federal agencies under the umbrella of the Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, this site "presents families, service providers, and other interested individuals with information about advocacy, education, employment, health, housing, recreation, technical assistance, and transportation."
It contains material about a broad array of developmental, physical, and emotional disabilities, including learning disabilities, such as attention deficit disorder; debilitating illnesses, such as cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, and cancer; and physical challenges, such as blindness and deafness. This site also provides assistance for children whose healthy development is threatened by social factors, such as poverty and abuse.

PLAY Tip
Visual Stimulation and Cause and Effect In One Toy!
The Switch Adapted Graphics Mobile clamps onto more then just cribs! Try clamping the mobile onto the back of a stable chair and positioning it over a child lying on the floor. For a change, unhook the cards and add your own special objects. Try holographic pictures, shiny ribbons, tinsel, leaves, or anything that strikes your fancy!
