Kentucky 
        Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities 
         
         
We 
  built the Yellow Pages for Kids 
  with Disabilities so people can get reliable information and support. 
  Your state Yellow Pages includes many resources - government programs, grassroots 
  organizations, and parent support groups. 
  
  We are adding evaluators, educational consultants, 
  academic tutors, advocates, attorneys, and others who help parents get services 
  for their children.The 
  Yellow Pages are a free 
  service. If you are interested 
  in being added to the yellow pages please 
  send 
  us an email. 
   
  
  Yellow Pages Flyer
  
  To get the word out about the Yellow 
  Pages, we designed flyers 
  for each state. Please distribute your state Yellow 
  Pages Flyer at schools, day care centers, libraries, doctor's and psychologist's 
  offices, community centers, and hospitals. Get your State 
  Yellow Pages Flyer now!
Note: The groups with a star (*) 
  next to their names sponsored an advocacy training program by Pete and Pam Wright.
