Help for Children with Special Needs in Missouri

Missouri has rules and policies about early intervention, special education, and transition to adulthood that are specific to the state. While reading general information about these services is helpful, consulting a parent advocate in your area is a great way to find out what's going on right where you live, right now. I asked Michelle Levi-Perez from MPACT in Kansas City for advice on three areas of concern for families of children with special needs:

• Early-Intervention Services in Missouri
• Special-Education Services in Missouri
• Transition to Adulthood in Missouri

If you have some good suggestions or resources to pass on, make your own contributions on these forms:
