Abstract: A review of a website resource that provides information and resources specific to students with disabilities and their families.

Key Words: Texas Project First, Texas Education Agency, special education, resources, parent training, blindness, visual impairment, disability

The Texas Project FIRST web site, launched in September 2006, is a collaboration of the Houston-based parent group Family to Family Network, the Texas Education Agency’s Texas Continuous Improvement Process, and ESC Region 9 Parent Coordination Network. Texas Project FIRST is a natural extension of Family to Family’s mission, which is to help families of children with disabilities by providing information, training, referral and support. In the first phase of Texas Project FIRST, F2F has developed this parent-friendly, Bobby-approved bilingual website to provide consistent, accurate information to help parents understand the complex special education issues and become more effective participants in their child’s education process.

The Texas Project FIRST website is designed to give parents accurate and consistent information about Special Education in Texas. While information is available somewhere on the worldwide web, lengthy web searches can be frustrating and websites can be cumbersome to navigate. Texas Project FIRST goal is to simplify this process by consolidating the most relevant information in a single website that is easy to use and navigate.
