This page holds a
wealth of internet links on a whole range of subjects relating to
special needs children. Even this number, however, is actually
only a fraction of the total amount of information available!
Don't worry though, the great majority of these pages have lists
of their own detailing more sites which may be interesting, so
follow your nose! Click on one of the list below to quickly jump
to a particular section of this page, and then just click on any
link to go to that site. Have fun! (If you find a broken link, or
if you come across a site you think would be useful to have
listed, please send an e-mail to tell us about it so we can mend the
problem or add the site to the index):-
WARNING FOR THOSE IN THE FAMILY CENTRE! Clicking on one of the links below in the various disabilities section may not take you immediately to the site! This is because you may not actually be connected to the internet at this point. All that will happen if you aren't connected is that a box will pop-up in the middle of the screen with things like "Password" and "Username" in it. Don't panic - just click "OK" and you'll get connected and be whisked straight to your chosen destination. Happy hunting!
