Special Thanks
Thank you to all the wonderful families who
took the time to recommend the businesses that are
included in the Exceptional Child Resource Directory.
You have helped numerous other families because of your generosity.
Thank you to all the amazing businesses that are included
in the Directory. You are providing solutions for our kiddo’s
that we will always be grateful for.

A n o t e f r o m t h e p u b l i s h e r :
When you have a child in need, where do you turn?
Hundreds of thousands of families in the Portland metro area face this
situation every year. Our kids have extra challenges like allergies, autism, gifted, ADD/ADHD, failure to thrive, learning delays, sensory processing disorder, cerebral palsy, asthma, orthopedic needs, food intolerances, developmental delays, speech/language delays,
feeding challenges, Aspergers, dyslexia, and many other diagnoses.
My own family has experienced multiple learning and medical
challenges. In fact, we’ve seen over 40 specialists in the metro area. So although I don’t know your personal story, I can say that I understand how difficult it can be to find the help your child needs.
That’s exactly why I created the Exceptional Child Resource Directory - to connect families with the local help their child needs - no matter
what the diagnosis. Because finding the help your family needs should not be hard.
The best part?
All the resources in this Directory are recommended by a family like
yours. It’s like getting a referral from a friend:)
Thanks for picking up the very first edition of the Exceptional Child Resource Directory!
All the best,
Teresa Denney

“Dr. Mo took the time to win my
son’s trust and ease his anxiety –
she even gave him a mini exam in

work magic with kids who struggle
with the noise, sounds and stress

“When I think back to when
Nick started practicing yoga, I
am amazed at how far he has
come! He has grown so much in
his ability to follow several steps
of instructions..increasing
strength...Most importantly, he
is developing skills to calm him-
self through yoga poses and
breathing techniques. This is
especially helpful for him to cope
with some of the frustrations
that his autism can cause
him. We are forever grateful to
Jennie and her passion for
sharing the gift of yoga.” - Kari,
mom of 12 yr old w/autism

“Formerly we used traditional flash
cards for their sight words and learning
was a real struggle. The kids hated
practicing sight words. Now the kids
love practicing sight words and
they are picking up words at a rate of
10 per week. I am very pleased with
the product to say the least!” Amy C.
