~~Bright Hub Education~~ This site is a great teaching tool for teachers to post in forums, blog, as well as great classroom tips and ideas for all types of teachers in varying subject areas. AS a teacher, your best resource is other teachers. You can communicate and bounce ideas off of one another and help each other out.
~~Kid's Health~~ This site is for all aspects of various disabilities, in this case Autism. It has activities, research, and ways of communication to others. This involves the parents, the kids, and the teens. As a teacher, this may help open your eyes to your students and what they may actually be going through.
~~National Dissemination Center For Children with Disabilities~~ This site is particularly interesting because I was able to gather so much information about Intellectual Disability (formerly known as Mental Retardation). I found it interesting that it mentioned signs to look for in the early years and how it is tested for later on if identified late.
~~Council for Exceptional Children~~ Although this site does require a membership for some of it's more advanced features, it is a great way for teachers to identify students in their own classrooms. I like how it covered a couple of different disabilities rather than just being one focus. It went into quite some detail so clearly there is a equal passion behind helping all of these students. This is a great resource for identifying and talking about dealing with students who have special needs. This paticular page covered emotional disorders.
~~IDEAS that work~~ This is a US educational department funded site that provides the legalities and the facts about . They have tips and kits and all kinds of fun stuff for teachers to use that will help student with varying degrees of disabilities.
~~Disability Awareness Packet~~ When I saw this packet, I thought that all teachers should have this as a reference source so that if they get rusty or are not sure if something would be appropriate for the students with disabilities.

As future teachers, this is a great way to help get us all prepared for the dynamic of perhaps even identifying the disability at the older years.
~~Education.Com~~ This site is another great resource for teachers to talk and communicate with one another. The particular page that is linked gives great advice tips on how to do homework assignment in your class that are fair for all students.
