Approved materials list:
In 2008, CAN-Act started compiling a list of Network approved materials - but as in all things, it's always safest to check with your
Network Program Manager before you start using material you haven't used in the past.

This list is here for your use - it's an MS Excel file that you can use to do key word searches to find materials for your programs. It's not
an ideal format, and it's a work in progress, but we wanted to make it available in hope that it will be useful in your work. Feel free to
email us with suggestions and entries for additional materials that you know about which could be included in this list.
