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 staff manages thousands of resource links specifically for government programs, charities and nonprofit organizations serving individuals and families with disabilities in all 50 states, Washington D.C., the US Military and Native Americans. Links are listed either on the National list, U.S. Military, Native Americans list or by state, only. We do not accept links to non-disability related sites or commercial links to informational pages by for-profit companies as many of these informational pages are narrow in scope and can be misleading. SNRP DOES NOT provide 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. SNRP WILL NOT list ANY links to for-profit law/legal practices, insurance brokers/providers, supplement manufacturers and other non-related commercial pages. Medical information must be directly linked back to its original medical source.

Our Executive Director vets all requests for links listings and has the last word on link list additions. If you'd like your organization to be considered for a resource link please click on Contact Us and send us an email for more information.

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

Parent's IEP Notebook - Individualized Education Plan Management

For most children involved in special education programs IEP meetings may occur any time they need a change in their program during the school year. Some children may need IEP meetings several times a year. To make this complicated process simpler for parents to manage we have provided directions and forms for creating 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

No Spend Days

Trying to keep your spending to a dull roar? Try this. Designate certain days of the week for shopping and the rest of the time do other things. It's very hard to spend money if we aren't in the stores constantly. You'll need to think ahead though. Grocery shopping could be done on Friday or Saturday (one or the other), general errands are designated on either a rehab day when we are already out and about going to or from the clinic, OR on one specific day of the week. Always go with a specific list and a spending limit. You may find you won't spend so much on gas either :).
