Directory
Welcome!
This
list of organizations has been created by Minnesota Hands &
Voices at Lifetrack Resources to let parents know about
some of the most important resources available to them.
This
list is not exhaustive, and details about organizations can
quickly become outdated. We encourage you to contact the organizations
directly for the most current and comprehensive information.
Specific
staff contacts are given for Minnesota-based organizations where
available and appropriate.
The
Directory is broken down into two sections. You can download
the whole directory as a PDF by clicking on the link below:
