Where
to Go for More Information on Early Intervention Programs
The
PACER Center
The Pacer Center (Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational
Rights) is an excellent source of information and the basis
for much of the information provided in this section. PACER
offers "a variety of supports including parent advocates
to meet with parents and answer questions about early intervention,
workshops on the law and issues in early childhood, and a computer
resources center that includes assistive technology."
