Those of you familiar with our last Resource Guide will recognize the layout in the 2003 Edition. While nothing has changed about the listing of websites by topics (so you can find what you're looking for quickly), or the live hyperlinks for each resource (that ensure "one click and you're there") we have greatly expanded and improved the 2003 Edition.

The 2003 Edition now lists over 1,300 websites divided into 75 topics. Each topic includes a minimum of 10 hand-selected resources as well as recommendations for books that offer more in-depth information on the topic. Plus, we've added some special hints and tips just for our Resource Guide users!

In all, it's over 200 Pages Of Valuable Information. Getting an incredibly useful e-directory like this for under $30 is a great deal for young parents and a fabulous tool for busy professionals!

"I use all the topics in your Resource Guide because I work at a family resource agency, and we use the Internet to give parents of children with special needs information all the time. The website descriptions are very helpful when counseling families that don't know the Internet, and are reluctant to 'click' on a link!

Internet research is time consuming, and I work at a non-profit, so time is money. Your research guide allows me to spend a minimal amount of time researching high quality web resources, yet still help families who are desperate for information. I think the services you provide are excellent, and I would recommend all of them to families with a child with special needs." ~ Jocelyn Penner

Being a computer professional, I know how helpful the Internet can be for anyone who is even the least bit computer-savvy. And it's especially helpful for busy parents and professionals who just never seem to have enough time. Plus, when you go online, you can find information, products, and resources that just aren't available locally.

• Can your neighborhood toy store tell you how to adapt board games for your child with cognitive impairments?
• Do you have a local bookstore that features books on advocacy and special education?
• Is there someplace nearby where you can get health questions answered about your child's specialized needs in the middle of the night?

It's all available on the Web. It's just a matter of knowing where to look. The problem is, finding that out can take thousands of hours. That's what it took me.

This eBook is a great starting point for:

• a parent new to special needs
• a parent or professional new to the web
• a parent or professional with little or no time to do research
• an experienced searcher who is interested in learning about new websites
• anyone who wants to readily be able to help others find information on a wide range of topics (i.e. Parent Training and Information Center staff)

You will need access to the World Wide Web and a basic understanding of navigating the web to get the full benefit of the book.

What I feel I'm doing by writing and publishing this book is fulfilling a need that I know exists. With The Internet Resource Guide 2003, I feel like I'm helping busy parents and professionals untangle the World Wide Web and put it to work for those with special needs.
