Website Review

This website has to do with students with disabilities.

National Dissemination Center for Children and Disabilities

NICHCY offers brief, but detailed fact sheets on specific disabilities. Each fact sheet defines the disability, describs its characteristics, and offers tips for parents and teachers.

You can also access additional information about resources on the specific disability in print or video and disability organizations that can offer more information and assistance.

This list is in alphabetical order by disability, except that you'll find Other Health Impairment (OHI) listed last. OHI is last in the list because ther are numerous health-related disabilities that fall under that category, including diabetes and Touretts Syndrome. That's where you'll find these two disabilities discussed, as well as heart conditions, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, and sickle cell anemia.
