As
the parent of a child with special educational needs, you represent your
child's interests. You’ll need to learn about your child's disability,
educational needs, and your rights and responsibilities as their voice. The
website, www.wrightslaw.com, can help by providing guidance. In addition to
articles on specific topics, they also maintain a state specific “yellow pages”
to help you find local resources or an individual in the private sector, such
as a child psychologist, educational diagnostician, or consultant. There is
even a Yellow Pages User Guide to help you find useful information on the site.
