Exceptional Twitter Accounts Covering Special Needs

For people with special needs, people who work with them, and especially for educators working with special needs students, community is important. The challenges that come with having a learning disability or other special need are difficult to face alone, and knowing other people who are going through something similar can provide a huge amount of relief and insight. That is what makes Twitter such an amazing platform for anyone with special needs, and those who live with them, work with them, and teach them. The special needs community on Twitter is already vibrant, with dozens to hundreds of accounts by people with:

ADD & ADHD
Down Syndrome
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Cerebral Palsy

Anyone in the special needs community, from special education to coaches, therapists, and even parents of children with special needs, will find valuable information and someone to connect with on Twitter. The accounts in this collection cover many of the most common special needs. They are categorized and listed according to follower count, with a few minor exceptions.
