Find a local phone book for the area in which you work or think you may be working. Based on the ideas from the online lesson, Exploring Distant Galaxies, explore the phone book to see what kind of services are available in your community. You may want to print the check-off list below and mark the services available in your community

	County School Superintendent	Job Services	Physical therapist
	Dentist for children	Juvenile Justice	Speech pathologist, therapist
	Doctor who understands	Legal advocacy/ Ombudsman	Social Services
	Eye Specialist for children	Legislators	United Way
	Family counseling	School District	Victim's Rights
State Ed. Dept	Transportation	Support Groups	Vocational Rehabilitation

If you wish, you can work together to help each other come up with ideas for how you could mitigate the lack of services and resources in your communities. A good way to learn about additional resources is to call the Health Department, County Superintendent, Counseling or Behavioral Health Services and community clinics.
