I must agree that this websites content does not read like Mark Twain, but
it is not as long as Tom Sawyer either. Humor aside, this website is
quite valuable and is more often going to be used as a site to refer to
see what one needs to watch out for when writing about specific
disabilities or situations. I think it is a great resource and I will
link to it is relevant research guides.
I would like to wish all on this discussion group a very happy Holiday
Season and a healthy and productive New Year and I have some links that
will serve to brighten your holidays in a very sound kind of way.
