A note to parents
Since we, as homeschoolers, believe it is the parents’ responsibility to teach their children, we at The Homeschooler’s Helper advise parents to personally check out all websites included here before allowing your children access to them. Some contain information that some parents may not want their children seeing. Only you can decide what is appropriate for your children.

Special Needs

Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent Centers

This is a resource for helping parents of children with disabilities. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The TAA home page gives a concise overview of what the program is all about, where funding comes from, how the project is administered, and what they offer.

Special Reads for Special Needs

Special Reads offers resources for teaching special needs children to read using books specially geared toward their ages and interests. The site also offers mind-developing music, flash cards and resources for siblings of special needs children.

Woodbine House

Woodbine House is a supplier of books and other media dealing with a wide variety of disabilities and diseases. They state that they truly want to make this information available to the public and price their book as low as they are able.
