The offices listed on NICHCY state sheets are primarily state-level offices. Even if an office is not close to your home, they can usually put you in touch with resources in your community, as well as provide you with information and assistance about disability issues in your state. If you find that an address or number has changed or is incorrect, please e-mail us at nichcy@aed.org and let us know.

A Note About Age of Eligibility:
Each state sets eligibility ages for services to children and youth with disabilities. For current information, please contact the office listed under Department of Education: Special Education for the state of interest.

En Español
Esta página de recursos le ayudará a saber qué clase de ayuda hay en su estado para las personas con discapacidades y sus familias, cuáles organizaciones y agencias podrá contactar para mayor información, y ¡mucho más! Las oficinas identificados tienden a ser oficinas a nivel estatal, no local, pero usualmente pueden ponerle en contacto con recursos dentro de su comunidad. También pueden proveerle información y asistencia sobre los asuntos relacionados a la discapacidad en su estado.

Nuestras Hojas de Recursos Estatales están disponibles en inglés. Si usted desea saber lo que significan varios títulos (tales como "State Department of Education" o "Technology-Related Assistance"), use la Hoja Estatal con nuestra "Guía de Recursos Estatales."
