As a teacher I was incredibly impressed by Family Village!

Family Village is a website that acts as a global community providing information and various resources for individuals with disabilities, as well as to their families and educators. The website was easy to navigate through and focused on a multitude of issues, such as specific diagnoses, communication connections, new technology, adaptive recreation, and legal issues.

I found this website to be very helpful in providing useful legal information and helping to raise awareness of civil rights for those with disabilities.
