Welcome to the Special Needs Resource Project

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.

What's New May 2008

• We're beginning to catch up with the additions to the Resource Links lists! We've made additions all over the listings so you'll want to check your State or Category for new updates. This is still a substantial list and we appreciate your patience as we continue to update and make additions.
• We're making some changes to the SNRP website as a whole. Rather than list all the changes we've made you'll want to browse through your favorite sections and see what's new on the drop down menus. More new information is on its way in several areas.
• Another "hot topic" over the last few weeks has been Family Finances. New information has been added to the section. You'll want to check it out. We also recommend the following newsletters for more helpful 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.
