Hi everyone,

Here are some great sites that offer a wealth of information and resources:

Disability Resource Guide for those living in Westchester County in New York: http://disabled.westchestergov.com/listed-alphabetically

If your child is interested in extracurricular activites and you live in Westchester County, contact Miracle League of Westchester: http://mlwny.org/

For better understanding of your child's disability try: http://www.mychildwithoutlimits.org/?page=home

As your child reaches teenage years, it is important to know the resources available as they transition to adulthood. Make sure that you register them with the Office for People living with Developmental Disabilities. This will provide services once they reach the maximum services offered at school aged which includes work, and day services. To ensure eligibility, visit: http://www.opwdd.ny.gov

Remember, we all need someone to lean on, someone who understands, and when friends and family are not enough and just don't "get it", other parents in the same circumstance might be the cure. If your local community does not have a parent-to-parent resource try: http://www.php.com/
