New Sign I-CAN (International Child Amputee Network) Online is a mailing list for parents of children with either acquired or congenital limb loss. This mailing list offers an opportunity to share experiences with other parents. Bill Baughn and his wife, Joyce, a bilateral below elbow amputee since age six, established I-CAN (International Child Amputee Network) and an Internet mailing list to provide information and support contacts to children with absent or underdeveloped limbs and their parents. It is the mission of I-CAN to provide parents with a place to contact experienced parents and adults who grew up with a limb deficiency.

New Sign Limb Differences.org is a continuation of the work of Peggy and Peter McLoughlin, who retired their super-kids.org website and newsletter in 2002. This online resource offers the practical information as well as the emotional support to help make your journey into the world of limb differences easier than you may have initially imagined. This site offers an on-line forum of discussion boards to the families and friends of children with limb differences called "Connections."

New Sign SuperHands: For Kids and Adults With Hand and Upper Limb Differences was developed by Steve Geigle and is a network of adults and youth with hand or upper limb differences. Many personal experiences are listed on their website and this group networks through e-mail.
