You Elaine, a thorough survey of the parents on this list and/or CP-Parent
might be very interesting. I am always "harping" to my professional
colleagues on how what a potential gold mine for research these lists are. We
could make up a very simple,
non-invasive survey to use with parents, like:

Check the areas of your lives most negative impacted by caring for your
child(ren)
with special needs.

Financial

    1           2       3       4       5       6       7

no impact                                           totally wrecked

What do you think?
