IEP/Special Education WebSites
While all children are individuals with varying needs and strengths, many wonderful
people have lead the way discovering information and ideas on how to help children of
different learning styles achieve their true potential. This is a list of websites, which we
hope will give parents and educators another tool to enable a child to discover their true
gifts through the special education process (Websites may not be accurate)
