Resources
Down Home Ranch is a community of opportunity for our residents and their families. But we can't do it alone. There are times when we need answers and resources to help us find our way. This page will help to serve that need. We plan to include links here to some of the most cutting-edge research in mental retardation, organizations that create new opportunities for people with disabilities and their families, and resources for parents and care givers. Please help us develop this list. If you know of an organization or have some information that should be included here, please contact us and let us know. We want to continue to provide our friends, our families and our residents with every opportunity. Thank you. Note: External links open in a separate window.
