What is a Care Notebook?
The Care Notebook is a simple tool to help parents of children with special needs organize and keep track of information related to their child. The Care Notebook is a three-ring binder with dividers and organizers that will enable parents to have all pertinent information in one location.

A Care Notebook is:
  • A planning tool
  • Everything in one place
  • Information at your fingertips
  • Portable (take to school meeting, doctors appointments, etc…)
  • Not having to dig through a stack of papers or a box for paperwork
  • Helping you to be a better advocate for your child
  • Personalized to best meet your needs

There are several examples of Care Notebooks (on the Web at http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/tools/care_notebook.html ) including one developed by the Joshua Project in Vermont. When creating the Parent to Parent of Vermont Care Notebook, the materials we saw from all of these sources inspired us.
