Florida Yellow Pages for Kids With Disabilities

We designed the Florida Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities so people who love and work with our children can get reliable information, support -- and connect with one another. The Mocking Bird , Florida State Bird

You will find different kinds of resources on this page, including state government programs, grassroots organizations, and support groups. We wanted to make it easy for you to find the information you need, so we organized these resources alphabetically, as you find in the "real" Yellow Pages.

Note: Groups with a star (*) next to their name sponsored an advocacy training program by Pete and Pam Wright.
