One of our Resource Specialists is fluent in Spanish. Our database houses information on developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, chronic illness, and rare diseases. This information is cross-referenced by county, so that when a parent or professional calls, we can let them know about resources that are available in their area. As well as providing information about services and resources by phone, we have family-friendly printed information that we mail to callers. We have literature on specific diagnoses and disabilities, transitioning between services, and parenting concerns along with other topics.
Information is mailed to callers free of charge.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA requires that each state provide a Central Directory of Resources on public and private early intervention services and resources available in the state. Family Support Network provides this service for North Carolina. See our Mandates to learn more.
