Today I went to a special needs fair in Lewisville, TX. I had discovered a flyer about it while internet surfing, comparing what surrounding school systems had to say about their programs for Transition and their class offerings for Special Education in high school. This fair was put on by the Special Education PTSA of Lewisville ISD. It was a very informative fair. They had representatives from DARS, Denton County MHMR, Denton County ARC, Dallas ARC, etc. They had booths for special needs camps like Camp Summit. I also found an organization that gives free outings for the disabled. I saw two booths from financial planners for special needs. One booth had babysitting service for special needs children which I guess would be categorized as a respite organization?
The LISD Special Needs PTSA also provided a directory for services which I need to read. The also have a resource directory online that includes names of doctors and lawyers and various organizations that deal with special needs. Here is the link:
