Information and Special Needs Resources for Parents of Children with Special Needs or Disabilities

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.

Special Needs Resource Project Resource Links Policy

SNRP does not accept commercial links to informational pages by for-profit companies as many of these informational pages can be misleading. This includes for-profit legal practises, insurance companies and insurance providers. Medical information must be linked directly back to it's original medical source. SNRP will NOT provide free listing services for commercial businesses simply because they provide an "information page" regarding a disability or disease process. The few business links we currently provide are specifically disability related and closely vetted. Our Executive Director vets all requests for links listings and has the last word on link additions. To be considered for a resource link please click on Contact Us for more information.

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.
