Hi Group-

I must say that I have done plenty of figting on both fonts that of the
mentaly/severly disabled and that of the physically disabled--of course
having cp there's alot of battels that you fight for your self and others who
are also disabled.  I used to do volonteer work at a center for the severe
and profound when I lived in Virgina.  I really like working with this
population and do it any chance I get.  I seem to have a talant for it.  As
some of you also know prior to moving to Idaho I worked at the comunity
college I attended in Texas mentoring students with MR.  Unfortuntly I
haven't found an outlet for my "talanet" yet here in Idaho.  :(

Yours,
Anee

 A group with even less chance to change the world. I find it so
 strange that a lot of physically handicapped people are as biased
 against the mentally handicapped as the rest of the population.
 (It may be that we with CP have probably all been mistaken for
 drooling imbeciles at one time or another, and we are all so
 proud of our intellectual abilities, that we can lose sight of
 the fact that intelligence is only one ability, there are many
 others - perhaps more important).
