These resources include a variety of topics besides lessons and class activities. Information on general disabilities, legal rights and laws, learning disabilities, special needs and technology, medicine and health, autism and the like are available at special education resources. Numerous directories are compiled by government and non-profit agencies to help out those who may need such assistance.

Parental support and understanding is of utmost importance when dealing with students with special needs. Hence, this is another area that special education teachers need to learn to deal with. Special education resources can provide plenty of support in this area. This is also applicable to parents. It helps them understand their child’s needs and requirements in getting an education and keeping up with class work. Often the parent might have to do a major part of the research and information-seeking owing to the limitations of their wards.

Various hospitals, foundations, and societies provide special education resources and helpful advice and tips. Every known disability is covered and information is available at numerous such sources. These special education resources also help parents in choosing the right school or program for their child according to their disability or disorder. Many of the directories have lists of institutes or schools that cater to specific issues or disorders.

Research indicates that interactive, out of classroom activities does contribute to the learning process of those with special needs. The use of color, shapes, and games helps stimulate the mind in different ways. Educational video programs, multimedia materials, and many other discipline-specific techniques catered exclusively for this purpose are widely available in the market. For those who are unable to obtain such special education resources due to financial constraints, there is aid available from the government and non-profit agencies.
