To help organizations working with families of children and youth with disabilities, the Family Center on Technology and Disability provides web-based information and resources.

Focusing primarily on educational and assistive technologies, the center’s website includes fact sheets, PowerPoint presentations, monthly newsletters, online discussion transcripts, reviews of assistive technology resources, a database of more than 4,000 organizations, family information guides and more. The website also contains resources in Spanish.
