Nere's a place to start:
http://funrsc.fairfield.edu/~jfleitas/contents.html
Band-Aides & Blackboards
This is among the BEST sites, especially for children (of any age) to
"read" -- sections geared for "kids" "teens" "adults" -- viewable with or
without frames. playful images that are engaging... frogs to jump onto,
to follow to clusters ("ponds") of links. And a frog for a mosttly-text
version ("In case you don't like to dive into strange looking ponds, I'll
take you to a site map.")
I recommend this site VERY highly - for itnroduction to disabilities and
chronic illness in a very CONCRETE way, with hundreds of short pieces
written by children, for children, about their own disabiities.
I am not certain, but i THINK I saw Spanish version of it. You might go
to the "site map" to see.

Where you are, at school ? , is there someone who can help you learn about
internet search engines? there is SO much on the internet about
disabilities. You may need some help to narrow your question, to find out
what you want to find out about, and then to search.

"Explainable" -- I thin kyou will find what you are looking for there.
