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

• We're continuing to highlight great resource links, organizations with some great services and informational tips daily on our Facebook page. Don't forget to "Like" Special Needs Resource Project so you don't miss anything new.
• Along with our regular line up we've posted newsletters from two excellent writers you'll want to read. Gary Shulman MS. Ed, a Special Needs Consultant and Trainer from New York City and Bec Oakley who blogs at Snagglebox ( http://www.snagglebox.com ) Both are an SNRP Recommended Read.
• We've been getting a lot of email queries regarding the paperwork needed for verification of Secondary Dependency status for military families and civilian families that need to prove the amount of support they provide to family members, children AND parents. Linda has addressed this in the May 2013 Newsletter titled "Military ID Cards - Managing the Paperwork" The paperwork required for proof of support of dependency is the same. It's a hefty list worthy of a filing cabinet.
• Two still popular topics have been Dependency Determinations and Letters of Medical Sufficiency. You can find the Dependency Determination information in the May 2010 newsletter Dependency Determination and the Letters of Medical Sufficiency information in the September 2009 newsletter titled "Medical Sufficiency Letters Simplified".

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.
