Answer 1

There are many services for children with disabilities, here are few, I could give you the ones that are local to me, but I suspect you need to find those in your local area, so try the Disability online web site and Infoxchange web site see below.

Answer 2

Try calling the Social Secruity admistration they should be able to help you.

Answer 3

No. If you are taking a class, you need to do this yourself. This is information gotten very easily on the internet via any search engine. If this is stressing you out - you are in the wrong class.

Answer 4

Talk to parents in Disability support groups and they should be able to give you some information that you are needing.
