Special Needs
Library
We
invite
you to borrow materials from our ever-expanding lending library, which
contains books, videos, audiocassettes, articles and newsletters on a
wide
range of topics related to special needs. Materials are available
for families and professionals. We are happy to have visitors
come
to our office to browse our collection. If you are not able to
come
in person, please call us at 1-800-800-4005 and we can send you what
you need. We also
have
bibliographies available upon request.
We
welcome
your input on recommending new materials to acquire. If you have
recommendations or are interested in donating resources to our library,
call (802) 764-5290 or 1-800-800-4005.
Lost & Found

belonging

all!).
We are missing quite a few titles from our lending library. We
would
really appreciate it if you could return them to us so we may share the
collection with other families who are on a waiting list. Please

"Check
It Out!" Bookmarks CLICK
here to view it! (and for more information)
Several
years ago. Parent
to Parent was awarded several grants by local foundations
to expand and maintain its outreach efforts to communities across
Vermont.
The project was called The Connections Initiative, a
multi-faceted
approach to expanding the organization's quarterly newsletter,
improving
the website, enhancing office technology, and designing and
distributing
bookmarks. In an effort to bolster our lending library and help
communities
develop better resources, the grant money enabled Parent to Parent
to produce "Check it Out" bookmarks, which featured recommended
reading
on special needs topics such as specific diagnoses, family
relationships,
coping, inspiration, and advocacy. Bookmarks were distributed
along with expanded bibliographies to over 200 public libraries, 38
bookstores,
and 40 pediatric practices throughout the state. The Initiative
was
made possible by the generosity of The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust, The
Kelsey
Trust, The John LeClair Foundation, and The Lintilhac Foundation,
Inc. Y
