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.

Age of Autism Named Top 125 Exceptional Twitter Account for Special Needs

Hello Kim

I'm thrilled to announce that PhDinSpecialEducation.com has just published a collection of 125 Exceptional Twitter Accounts Covering Special Needs, and @AgeofAutism is highlighted on it. Feel free to check it out here.

There's a wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable community of Twitter users discussing special needs and special education. We think anyone teaching special ed should join the conversation, and we're hoping this list will make it easier for them to find highly informative accounts such as your own to follow!

We're hoping this article will inspire as many new people as possible to get involved with the online community surrounding special needs and special education. Could you help make that happen by sharing a link to this article through your website, and of course through Twitter as well?

Thanks so much for all you contribute to the online discussion about special needs and let me know if you have any questions at all.
