Isolation & Lack of Information: Problems . . . and Solutions "Help, I need an expert to evaluate my child and advise the school about my child's needs. Please send me the names of good evaluators in my town." or "Help, we are having terrible problems with our school district and need an advocate / attorney. If you cannot help us, please send names of advocates / attorneys in my area." Because we do not know evalutors, advocates, attorneys around the country, we were unable to offer much help. We continued to think about these problems, we came to some conclusions: 1 Most parents do not know where to turn for help - where to find an experienced evaluator, therapist, advocate, etc. 2. Many disabilities organizations do not recommend evaluators and providers because they are worried about conflict of interest and afraid they may alienate members or potential members. 3. "There
is strength in numbers." Generally, large groups have more power
than small groups. Our Solution We decided life would be a little easier if parents and others who work with disabled children could visit one place to find help. A helpful place should provide information to families of children with all disabilities. So we built the Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities. http://www.fetaweb.com/help/states.htm 2.

with Disabilities so you can get reliable information and support.

about them - so we need your help. 4. Yellow Pages Listings If you
