REVIEW:
Family Village is a great guide to information for people with disabilities and their families, friends, teachers, and caregivers. The Library section contains a huge listing of resources related to general issues and specific disabilities. The School section lists lots of valuable links about assistive technology, disability awareness, IEP guidelines, and more. Check out the Hospital section for resources on health care, transportation, nutrition, etc. That's just the beginning! Family Village also contains a Coffee Shop with chat rooms and discussion lists, a great section on Recreation and Leisure, a Community Center with family specific resources, and other important resources to help make life better for individuals with disabilities. Special education teachers and parents should bookmark this exceptionally helpful site!
