SITEMAP
Alphabetical listing of
most pages on this site: Exceptions
will be state and county pages. Some are not linked from
this sidebar but from within a page
The CP Links Page is
where you will find most Federal, State and local County pages.
THE HOMEPAGE
WHAT IS CP
CEREBRAL PALSY
My attempt to
clarify CP you may find the information provided by NINDS is more
specific and detailed
TREATMENT of CP
There are many
different treatments and I only name those I am familiar with
Physical
Therapy
How it
is essential to maintain range of motion
Occupational Therapy
How it is
essential to maintain quality of life
Speech Therapy
What I know through my
experience By far not even close to what you
should know
Medication and Orthotics
Again what
I know through experience Much more
can be had searching the net or talking with doctors and therapists
CP LINKS
To Federal, State, County, City / Town and School District WebPages.
Health links and hopefully links to local disability sites and activity and events calendars
just drill down to the page you want
Cerebral Palsy Glossary
Terms
used when referring to items related to CP . Many of us may see these on a
doctors report and not know what it really means.
More Information of CP provided by NINDS
Perhaps a bit more concise and informed than my attempt to tell
of what CP is.
What Causes Cerebral Palsy?
What are the Risk Factors?
Can Cerebral Palsy Be Prevented?
What Are the Different Forms?
What Other Conditions Are Associated With Cerebral Palsy?
How Does a Doctor Diagnose Cerebral Palsy?
How is Cerebral Palsy Managed?
What Specific Treatments Are Available?
Drug Treatments
Surgery
Orthotic Devices
Assistive Technology
Alternative Therapies
Are There Treatments for Other Conditions Associated with Cerebral Palsy?
Do Adults with Cerebral Palsy Face Special Health Challenges?
What Research Is Being Done?
Where can I get more information?
Specific Neurological
Disorders
Many of these do not fall under the
heading of CP but are disabilities nonetheless. My take on the IEP,
IDEA 2004 (Public Law 94-142 & Public Law 101-476), and the 504 plan.
In 1990, changes to Public Law 94-142 arrived through
the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1990 (Public Law
101-476). Most apparent was the law’s name change – instead of the
Education of the Handicapped Act, it is now called the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act. IDEA 2004
IEP overview
A Guide to the Individualized Education Program with sections
highlighted and comments by me
504 plan & IDEA Q&A
Protecting Students and others with Disabilities also a
list of accommodations and modifications as would relate to the school
environment. More on accommodations in the Parent and Educator Guide
Appendix E
Parent &
Educator Guide of 504 Plan concepts and real life accommodations.
Drafted by the OSPI and 5 Puget Sound area School Districts but would be a
valuable asset to any fighting for their child's 504 accommodations
anywhere U.S.A.
IDEA 2004 summary&
Title 1 IDEA as written
(Public Law 94-142 & Public Law 101-476)
A lot of legalese and unless you are a lawyer or are
looking for specific law probably will not be of much benefit.
You will better spend your time reading the Parent and Educator
Guide, the IEP overview and the 504 plan & IDEA Q&A
Washington State Chapter 392-172 WAC
SPED special education and the IEP
This is Washington State law as
regards the IEP and special education
Also a bit about our (current
Nov 08) personal
battle for Amber

unique experiences and through what is said you may find you are not

possibly a way to realize your own goals.

to Robert.
Robert wrote a Science Fiction trilogy while being laid up. It took 4
years to complete and he has for sale Book 1 of the trilogy HERE
He is awaiting editing and copyrights on books 2 & 3 before
sending them to the publisher. Book 1 can stand alone and is a complete
novel of 237 pages and 135,000+ words in PDF format. Making Money Online (or not)
What I've tried and what I believe. The things to
watch out for. Many with disabilities have a very difficult
time working a 9 to 5 so working online is a viable alternative. However be wary
of those who will take your money and not deliver any worthwhile information.
Other sites I have or to be more precise
the wife has and I take care of. www.tamicraft.com www.vintageslips4u.com
