Finding Information on the Internet

There is an incredible amount of information on the internet for families of children with disabilities. This site is an attempt to bring together a selection of some of the better resources on the Internet, organize them in an accessible manner, and provide brief annotations.

The site is divided into the following major categories, and the internet resources within each category are listed alphabetically.

Getting started	A page that lists sites that are good launching pads for further information and that provides resources for learning how to search for information on the internet.
The Laws	It is crucial to understand the laws that govern the rights of children with disabilities. This page provides links to sites that outline these laws, and also provides a list of websites of advocates.
Parent Sites	Some of the most valuable information can be found on sites sponsored by parents or by parent organizations. The links on this page are to national parent organizations. State and local parent organizations are sometimes the best resource for families. They can be located through your local parent training and information center (PTI).
Specific Disabilities	Links on this page will connect you to websites where you can find some information about a range of specific disabilities or a great deal of information about one particular one.
Education	Under IDEA (the Individual with Disabilities Education Act), children with disabilities are entitled to a "free and appropriate public education" in "the least restrictive environment." The sites listed here can help you understand your child's rights, provide strategies for successful learning and link families to advocacy organizations. Information about inclusion is also available on this page.
Health	There are hundreds of health-related internet sites. The ones on this page provide links to general health information, to medical databases, to information about rare diseases and disorders and to sites that can educate you on drugs and medication.
Mental Health	This page focuses on sites that provide information about mental, behavioral and conduct disorders, and includes links to mental health family support and advocacy organizations.
No Stone Unturned Foundaiton	The No Stone Unturned Foundation is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the support and research of children health initiatives, including CFC International, and other charitable causes. The Foundation was established by University of South Carolina Assistant Football Coach Eric Wolford and his wife, Dr. Melinda Wolford, who were inspired by their son Stone.
