Resources

The Patients and Families page of the American Psychiatric Association website has great information on every disorder in the DSM-V-TR. The DSM-V-TR is the most current version of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This handbook provides a comprehensive classification system and diagnostic criteria for the proper diagnosis of mental, neurological, and developmental disorders. Most medical professionals use this as a reference. It is considered the most definitive resource of its kind.

The Center for Parent Information and Resources website is a great resource. It contains a library of articles, fact sheets, webinars, and videos on key disability and educational topics. There is a guide to help you find your local Parent Center, as well.
