Harbinder,

To those of us in the "states," Oakville Ontario isn't even that well
known...  By research, I guess I meant that you are using the list to
increase your personal knowledge base rather than having a first hand
(personal) experience with CP.

I don't see myself as "suffering with CP."  That implies a disease model I'm
uncomfortable with.  To me, CP is a condition that I've had my entire life
that causes some limitations, but is only a part of who I am.  There are
several aspects of what make you Harbinder as well, things like being
Canadian or living in Canada, being a student, etc.  Knowing so little about
you, I'm hesitant to provide more information.  Is the special education
assistant's program a certificate, or an associates degree?

The use of the "special children " terminology to describe students with
disabilities also makes me uncomfortable.

I work for a University in the states, and our "special education" program
is only available to graduate studernts.

I know that the list is in the "winter doldrums," but isn't anyone else out
there?!?

Kendall

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
