Resources highlighted should include community and supporting advocacy agencies that specialize in academic, transitional, and/or vocational skills for individuals with disabilities. Include supports at the community, state, and national level. 

For each organization or agency you recommend, provide the following information:

• Name of organization/agency, contact information, physical location, and website link.
• A brief description of services offered specific to meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities.
• A brief overview of activities, events, programs, or strategies the organization/agency has or utilizes that supports an individual with disabilities and/or the family and caregiver.

The newsletter or brochure should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
