Meet the Finalists

The five finalists for the About.com Readers' Choice Award for Favorite Special-Needs Online Community make their home on Facebook or on their own specialized websites. Some focus in on specific topics like cancer, Down syndrome, or limb differences, while others offer a place for families with different concerns to come together. These communities offer a flexible sort of support group for parents, one that's always open, as close as the home computer, and filled with friends from around the world who have been there and done that. Follow the links below or navigate through this article to learn more about the communities being honored, and then check out the winners in all eight categories.
