Nevada Yellow
Pages for Kids with Disabilities
We
built the Yellow Pages for Kids
with Disabilities so people can get reliable information and support.
Your state Yellow Pages includes many resources - government programs, grassroots
organizations, and parent support groups.
We are adding evaluators, educational consultants,
academic tutors, advocates, attorneys, and others who help parents get services
for their children.The
Yellow Pages are a free
service. If you are interested
in being added to the yellow pages please
send
us an email.
Yellow Pages Flyer
To get the word out about the Yellow
Pages, we designed flyers
for each state. Please distribute your state Yellow
Pages Flyer at schools, day care centers, libraries, doctor's and psychologist's
offices, community centers, and hospitals. Get your State
Yellow Pages Flyer now!
Note: The groups with a star (*)
next to their names sponsored an advocacy training program by Pete and Pam Wright.
