Hello,
Thank you again for giving me some good ideas. I have spoken at length with
Bonnie Moulton from the Institute on Disabilities. She is actually one who
directed me towards using listservs as well as UCP Chapter contacts. She
definitely has good contacts in the realm of CP. Any more suggestions are
greatly appreciated. I will try to contact Lynne Dougherty as well.
Thank you again,
Greta
