Hello Ray,
Please forgive me for jumping in on one of your messages. You
mentioned you were looking for some support and possibly legal advice.
I don't know where you're from, but there are agencies nation-wide
called the Association for Retarded Citizens. Normally they are a
vocational rehabilitation program, but most agencies have advocacy
programs as well as extensive legal info. If they can't help you,
they will certainly point you in the right direction. I ought to know,
I worked at an ARC in Philadelphia. Let me know if this helps......Sue
