Resource Find: Forms for Staying Organized

Staying organized is one of the greatest challenges caregivers and parents of special needs children face. Recently, one of our medical attorneys came across a great resource that can help families stay organized – a series of forms developed by United Cerebral Palsy that can be used for anything from doctor's visits to notes for the babysitter.

The forms can be downloaded as PDF files from www.mychildwithoutlimits.com and include:

'All About Me' form – which you can give to your child's school (teacher, nurse, counselor, etc.) or to a babysitter when you need a break

'Just in Case' sheet – for making sure emergency information is easily accessible to anyone who needs it

'Trip to the Doctor' form – to prepare for and keep track of doctor's appointments

'Contact Sheet' – for keeping a record of phone calls made regarding your child's care

'Medication Listing' form – for documenting the types of medication your child requires, when, how much, etc.
