What We Do

Connect You with the Research
What does the research have to say about effective educational practices with children who have disabilities? How can we use research to inform our decision making and improve early intervention and special education services? Find out in our Research Center, which is growing every day!

Offer Publications in English and Spanish
Check out our publications right here online. You can download them, or ask for them in print. We offer fact sheets on specific disabilities, state resource sheets, parents guides, resource lists, and much more. All of our publications here on our Web site are free! If you'd like a copy in print, or you need one in an alternate format, give us a call or email us. For print copies of some publications, we charge a small cost-recovery fee, but we are pleased to provide most of our publications free of charge.

Connect You with Others
Let us put you in touch with disability organizations around the country, parent groups, state agencies, and others who can offer you yet more assistance and information. Here, on the Web site, you can search for organizations addressing your areas of interest, find resources in your state, identify available materials, and much, much more. To start, we recommend that you visit our Search for Info page and take a look at the State Resource Sheet for your state.

Respond to Your Questions
Our information specialists are available to speak with you in English or Spanish about your areas of interest or concern. Call us toll-free at 1.800.695.0285, or email us at: nichcy@aed.org.

Provide You with Information Tailored to Your Needs
The National Dissemination Center can provide you with an information search that addresses your unique needs and concerns. We search our resources and what's available nationally — free! And you can sign up for our eNews service, tell us what you need, and we'll send it to you — also free!
