| Pediatric Stroke Network | Welcome to PSN! The goal of this site is to bring together friends and families of infant or childhood stroke survivors from around the world. Because childhood stroke is relatively uncommon, but steadily on the rise, finding other parents to connect with can often be difficult. Especially when you are looking to find parents dealing with the same type of stroke or after effects and disabilities. Finding parents who have children that have experienced the same life long effects can also be frustrating. PSN is dedicated to helping parents and families cope and move forward in their lives. PSN is also the first support group for infant, pediatric and childhood stroke registered with the American Heart Association. I must stress that parent and family involvement is the key. | Website |

| People-First Language | "Everyone deserves dignity and respect. Yet historically, our words have contributed to negative attitudes and misrepresentations about the value of people with disabilities in our society. To end discrimination — at work, at school, and in our communities — it’s important to stop using language that denies a person's value, individuality, and capability. As its name implies, People-First Language puts the individual first and the disability second." This handout was created by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities.
