Abstract


The purpose of this handbook is to provide parents with a list of agencies/organizations that offer services throughout the state of Texas. The handbook includes details about each agency/organization, including contact information such as Web site addresses and toll-free telephone numbers, if available.

Service providers can also use the handbook to further support their clients by providing copies of the handbook to their clients, and/or maintaining a master copy in waiting areas frequented by parents.
