Special Needs Resource Project


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.

What's New October 2008

  • It must be Fall, we've got the October Newsletter posted and ready for viewing.
  • Forms for Fall IEP meetings and Daily Communication Books can be downloaded from our Forms section.
  • We've added some new sections to the web site starting with a new category of Ramps for viewing on the Ramps page. Not commercial, not residential, these ramps fall into a category all their own. You can view them in the Ramps section under Public Access Ramps.
  • A new section addressing Adapted Spaces will illustrate examples of good adaptations made in many environments that others can use in their own spaces.
  • Two new sections have been added to the New Construction section. Thresholds and Entryways and Single Family Home Resources.
  • We're still working on additions to the Resource Links sections in most states so you'll want to check yours out.
  • Please feel free to contact us if we've missed anything important. To send e-mails simply click on Contact Us and we'll answer as quickly as we can.

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

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.

Hints & Tips

Preparing for an IEP Meeting

Any time you have an upcoming IEP meeting on your schedule take time out to do some homework. Read the current IEP and ask yourself a few questions as you do. Does this goal meet my child's current needs? Does it need to be changed? Deleted? Do we need to add a new goal? Or break one down into smaller goals with a larger, long-term, goal in view? Take notes and be ready to make suggestions and requests. You'll be glad you did.
