• www.Microboard.org. This is the Web site of the Vela Microboard Association in British Columbia, one of the largest associations of microboards in North America. Its Web site includes many individual stories, calendars of events, brochures, links to other Web sites, and other information of interest and usefulness in understanding and replicating microboard concepts and practices.
• www.self-determined.org. The Self-Directed Support Corporation Web site provides an overview of principles and operation of self-directed support corporations (SDSCs) and answers frequently asked questions. It includes links to SDSC organizations and resources by state, and also provides links to other related sites of interest.

This section of the Web site of the Missouri Developmental Disability Resource Center features the Missouri Micro-board Development Workbook, a very useful resource for microboard background and planning.
