Children With Disabilities

You are your child’s most important advocate. To best support your child, you may need information about your child’s specific diagnosis, early intervention services (for a baby or toddler), special education services (for a preschool or school-age child), and much more. Here are some resources to help you be their best advocate and support your child’s growth, development, and well-being.
