Illness and Disability

This section offers links to more information on different types of illnesses and disabilities for teens. These links are only for young people, so your illness or disability may not be listed if there aren’t web sites and articles just for you out there. We are always adding new information, though, so please keep checking back!

We have four different sets of links for you:

Information on different illnesses and disabilities

Information on living with disabilities

General health information

Information on transitioning
