A List of Community Resources

Create a list of available community resources. Use the ideas in the online lesson, Exploring Distant Galaxies, to complete this assignment.

Find a local phone book for the area in which you work or think you may be working in the future. Based on the ideas from the online lesson, explore the phone book to see what kinds of services are available in your community. Print the check-off list below and mark the services available in your community. Make a list of the resources you believe are lacking in your community. Now look once again in the Blue pages of the phone book. What agencies might be able to add to your list?

	Behavioral Health Services	Human Resources	Occupational Therapist
	County School Superintendent	Job Services	Physical therapist
	Dentist for children	Juvenile Justice	Speech pathologist, therapist

Excellent: The list is organized and specific to one locale. There are at least 20 names and phone numbers from a diverse group of service providers. The student shares findings with others. In the case of the BJ assignment, the names were developed after talking with a specialist in the field and there is a WebCT listing of 20 or more agencies or groups who provide services.

Good: There is evidence of a search with at least 10 agencies and phone numbers represented in the list.
