Disability and Special Needs Resources
There have been significant updates to the Disability and Special Needs Resources page and Google LM has created an interactive notebook that can answer questions based on the contents of the page: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/58fa3328-ad22-4e82-9def-b6a9d0ad4e9f?authuser=2
The Resource List Has Been Updated
List news
I will try to update the list of resources soon. In the meantime, Keith Adams of Common Heart helped me get an AI version of the list that can answer questions about the resources in Union County. See https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/b204996e-b8cf-48e7-b596-e17d408eed01. You will likely need to send a one-time access request. I will try to remember to check emails often.
