7 CALL 211 - A POWERFUL
RESOURCE!
I've used them for

you get that list do your
research to see what
organization might be
beneficial to your child.

TSA Cares helps make
travel through the
airport easier for
individuals with
disabilities.
11 HIDDEN DISABILITIES
SUNFLOWER LANYARD
For the airport and
when you need
extra understanding
and support.
12 DISABILITY WAIVER
Every state has a disability waiver
that doesn't go by parents income.
Some have long waitlists and some
do not but it's a wonderful benefit.
It's my favorite to talk about
because it stays with them for life
and can help with almost everything
you ever need for them in life
including care for when they are
older.. you can check your state at
kidswaivers.org
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Keep advocating, keep asking questions,
and never stop looking for resources
that can help your child thrive!
