[net.cog-eng] New mailing list for/about handicapped

wtm@bunker.UUCP (Bill McGarry) (05/21/86)

A while back, I was trying to start up a new news group for issues
relating to handicapped people.  At that time, there was not enough
interest generated to make a new group worthwhile.  For various reasons,
I did not proceed any further at that time but now I am starting up
a new mailing list (mail.handicapped) which will be in digest form.

If you would like to be included in this mailing list, please let me
know.  A short description of the mailing list follows.

This article is being posted to news groups where during the past year or
so, I have seen articles concerning the handicapped.  Please - no flames!

				Thank you,

The proposed purpose of mail.handicapped will be to share information
of any form relating to physically/mentally handicapped people.
If you are handicapped or if you have a friend or relative who is
handicapped or if you are just interested in this field, then this
mailing list is for you.

Topics to be covered include but are by no means restricted to:

-New technology available (in all fields whether computer related or not)
-Medical issues
-Legal aspects
-Employment issues
-Education
-Handicapped in the society

If you wish to be added to the mailing list or would like any further
information, please send e-mail to:
