51 condition-specific guides with urgent boundaries, current terminology, communication considerations, and direct source links where reviewed.

👥 Multidisciplinary Approach
Recommendations for SLPs, OTs, PTs, ABA therapists, educators, and caregivers supporting individuals with complex needs.
🔬 Source-aware
Versioned review records distinguish publication from source review and become stale when the source changes.
How source review works
Each published condition and resource has a version-controlled review record tied to the exact source file by a raw SHA-256 digest. The page shows Review not started, Source review underway, Source reviewed with a date, or Source review due. Any source-file change makes a completed review due again.
Source reviewed means the named reviewer checked the recorded scope against the recorded evidence for that version. It is not independent clinical review, a permanent verification claim, or individualized medical advice.
