Care Notebooks

What is a Care Notebook? The Care Notebook is a simple tool to help parents of children with special needs organize and keep track of information related to their child. The Care Notebook is a three-ring binder with dividers and organizers that will enable parents to have all pertinent information in one location. A Care Notebook is: A planning tool Everything in one place Information at your fingertips Portable (take to school meeting, doctors appointments, etc…) Not having to dig through a stack of papers or a box for paperwork Helping you to be a better advocate for your child Personalized to best meet your needs There are several examples of Care Notebooks (on the Web at http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/tools/care_notebook.html ) including one developed by the Joshua Project in Vermont. When creating the Parent to Parent of Vermont Care Notebook, the materials we saw from all of these sources inspired us. Where do you get a Care Notebook? Parents can purchase the necessary components of a Care Notebook themselves at any office supply store or can contact Parent to Parent of Vermont for a starter Care Notebook packet, which is available at cost** ($8). Please contact Joanne at Parent to Parent at 1-800-800-4005 ext. 18 for more information or to place your orders.

**Parent to Parent is currently seeking funding for the starter Care Notebook packets, and hopes to
have them available for families at no cost in the near future.
