Information on the Web!

The best way to become familiar with the web is to simply let yourself get lost in the web. You can search for broad topics, such as Disabilities and Parent Support or for specific things such as Individuals with Disabilities Educational Act (IDEA) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Here are some Web sites that I hope you will find useful.
