Sources & citations

Follow the original source, see what it supports, and check when a listing was reviewed.

We prioritize government agencies, professional and certification bodies, and the organizations delivering services. A provider’s own description establishes what it says it offers; it is not independent evidence of treatment effectiveness, quality or suitability.

Resource titles, activity tags and planning questions are plain-language editorial summaries. They do not establish a diagnosis or guarantee eligibility. Publication dates and page-update dates belong to the source; a date when we accessed a page is not its publication date.
