One of the suggestions from in service was the need for a "desk reference" of disabilities. A quick explanation of a disability, how it manifests, what to expect and maybe a list of resources for getting more information.
I think this is a great idea, and figured it would be a snap to google search and locate a perfect little list. How arrogant of me to think that these complex disabilities would manifest in such simple ways that a quick glossary would be easy to find. There is a lot of reference and I will continue to search for good resources for you.
I did find a good place to start. The Center for the Improvement of Child Caring has a nice glossary of terms. This is the link: http://www.ciccparenting.org/Glossary1.aspx
I have placed this information on the Para Moodle site also.
Please share if you find a reference or resource you like.
