How we write & review
Trust is built slowly. Here is how Harborlight approaches accuracy, tone, updates, and corrections—plus clear limits on what we will never claim to do.
Last reviewed: April 2026
Source hierarchy
- U.S. government agencies and federally funded technical assistance centers.
- State education and Medicaid portals for locality-specific rules.
- Established disability organizations with clear expertise and citations.
- Our lived experience for pacing, compassion, and logistics—but never as a stand-in for law or medicine.
Dating & maintenance
Each guide shows a “Last reviewed” month. When policy shifts or a link breaks, we patch it and note the change in our running corrections log below.
Corrections log
- April 2026 — Initial Harborlight launch pages seeded. No public corrections yet.
What we avoid
- Fear-based headlines that shame parents or oversell miracle outcomes.
- Legal or medical advice framed as universal truth.
- Unmoderated forums on day one (misinformation risk).
- Undated state benefit amounts that will go stale.
