Welcome to NICHCY and a wealth of information on disabilities!

NICHCY stands for the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities. We serve the nation as a central source of information on:

• disabilities in infants, toddlers, children, and youth,
• IDEA, which is the law authorizing special education,
• No Child Left Behind (as it relates to children with disabilities), and
• research-based information on effective educational practices.

Simply put--the Dissemination Center is part of a broad Federal effort to improve results for children with disabilities. We're funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education to connect you with the resources you need in your efforts on behalf of infants, toddlers, children, and youth who have disabilities.

We invite you to:

• explore our Web site and find out more about us,
• read our publications and share them with others,
• find out about the latest educational and disability research,
• sign up for our eNews service, designed to keep you up to date,
• visit our A-Z pages and hook up fast to other disability and education info on the Web,
• let us connect you with resources in your state and in the United States, and
• call us free of charge (1.800.695.0285) to talk with our information staff about your special concerns.

Feel free to communicate with us in English or Spanish. We're here, we're listening, and it would be our pleasure to help you.
