Special Needs Resource Project (SNRP) provides a basic guide for parents of children with chronic health issues, disabilities and special needs. This site is designed to help you get a jump-start in your search for helpful information and resources. Every situation is unique. Our aim is to help you learn the basic skills you'll need to obtain the specific resource information, equipment, and services your child and family needs. Though focused on children ages 0-22, most of the information we offer is applicable to adults as well.

Seattle Children's Center for Children with Special Needs has begun a new project entitled The Story Network. The Story Network is a community where parents of children and teens with an ongoing health condition or special need can read and tell honest, hopeful stories about day to day life, coping during crisis, staying strong, or getting emotional support. Parents around the world have positive stories to share-stories that can help us all know we have a network-we're not alone.

IEP - Individualized Education Plan - Keeping a Parent's Notebook

Parent's IEP Notebook - Individualized Education Plan Management

For most Special Education children IEP meetings can occur any time a child needs a change in their IEP program during the school year. For some children this may be several times a year. To make this complicated process simpler for parents to manage we have provided a basic Parent's IEP Notebook. One place for all those forms, letters, Parent's Guides and notes you'll be taking. Downloadable forms available here.

Hints & Tips

Moms Grab and Go Bag

Most children have a diaper bag or back pack to take along for Doctor visits, clinic trips and other errands. Moms need one too. Fill an activity bag with items to use while you're waiting for your child. Items such as a notebook and pen, magazine, notes, spare change, bottle of water, knitting, best seller, letter paper, etc. can come in handy while you're sitting in waiting rooms or in the car.
