My daughter just signed up to be a do-it pal. I was member number 11 on
your list. Jackie also signed up and her membership is pending email
verification.
Thanks, I think she is looking forward to learning something and I hope
it will help. Her psychiatrist told her to go out and get involved with
the disabled community.

Marilyn,
I speak very highly of the DO-IT Program because I was a scholar there
in
1994. To my parents, the program has really helped me to get to where
I'm
at today as the Internet and many of the different things I have going.
I
also met Barry Romich the co-founder of the Prentke Romich Company from
a
mentor in the program. Barry ended up hiring me and a lot of great
things
were brought to the company and researchers by knowing me.
About my new LISTSERV, I'm very Pleased with the response I have gotten
already and we're already up to 11 members. It's going to be an
exciting
group with some DO-IT Scholars and Pals already joining.
Thanks,
Anthony

revisited
recently. We will check this out too! And your group also. Thanks a
lot for the help!

Marilyn,
I hope that this works out for you and your daughter. There's also a
program out at the University Of Washington called the DO-IT Program,
which
is designed for high school students with a wide range of disabilities
who
are interested in attending college or vocational school beon
completing
high school. They also have a LISTSERV called DO-IT Pals, which is
open
to
any high school student basically to receive mentoring on-line mainly
from
adults with disabilities who are attending college and/or working.
Their
web site is http://www.washington.edu/doit/
Thanks,
Anthony

FABULOUS!!! I will check this out! We are on the east coast but my
daughter really just wants to "talk". Finding friends will come
with
talk!
I will report back on our review for the information of this group.

Subject: LISTSERVs for youth and young adults
Friends,
Yesterday I was reading on here that some of you would like to
belong
to
LISTSERVs that are directed towards youth and young adults. I did
some
checking around and writing on other LISTSERVs that I belong to.
Somebody
e-mailed me names of two LISTSERVs and I wanted to pass them along
to
you.
EastCoast-n-Disabled
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EastCoast-n-Disabled
Geared toward people on the east coast of the US, but there are
quite
a few members from other areas. This one isn't specifically
targeted
to young adults, but I think most of the members are fairly young.
GimpGirl Community
http://www.gimpgirl.com/lists/
Geared toward young women with disabilities, there are actually four
different lists here.
Thanks,
Anthony
