We have a wonderful resource book that might be helpful to others.
The book is published under a grant and there is no charge to
obtain a copy.  It lists support organizations, public health
programs, self-help clearinghouses, etc.  The name of the book is
"REACHING OUT:  A Directory of National Organizations Related to
Maternal and Child Health" - printed March 1989.  Available on
request from:

 
        NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION IN MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH (NCEMCH)
        38th & R Streets, N.W.
        Washington, D.C.  20057
           (202)625-8400
 
See my previous message to Patti Fink, RE: Parkinson's Groups, for a sample of 
information that is available in this book.
 
I took my copy of this book to Adam's Pediatrician/Geneticist and told him 
that he needed one. Dr. Tolby took my advice and reported back that he is 
finding it extremly valuable. One of his frustrations with Adam was not 
knowing where to send us for support.
