Accurate information and resources

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.

Hints & Tips

Reservist Going on Active Duty over 30 days?

Don't forget to enact the Soldier and Sailor's Relief Act. This act allows the service member protection from eviction if your rent is $1,200.00 or less, reduces interest rates on credit card debt and mortgages, and allows for delay of all civil court proceedings such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, or divorce proceedings. Know your rights. Contact your local Military Personnel Office (MPF) for further information.
