My name is Massimo Carnevali, my wife is a Doctor specialized in Phisical
Medicine and Rehabilitation, she has just started working in a center
specialized in babies with Down Syndrome. In this centre babies from all over
Italy receive help in various forms (speech, moving, psicological etc.).
I'm not the specialist (I'm an electronic engineer) so sorry if my "words"
are not correct. My wife doesn't have direct access to the network so she
asked my to look around and see if there is a FORUM with discussions about
this argument. They are also thinking to start using computers and they'd
like to know if there is something written around. Someone on the network
gave me your name. Any further indication will be appreciated (books,
programs, magazines, LISTSERV etc.).
Many thanks.

Hello Massimo,

I was interested in your message. I have sent a copy of it to a man here in 
town who knows a lot about this subject. I hope that he can help you. His name 
is Rich Olsen.

I am not familiar with the needs of children with Downes Syndrone, but will 
try for info for you.

Take care, see you on-line.

Ann P.

In Australia, we are very advanced in some areas of "TECHNICAL
AID FOR THE DISABLED",  especially in the area of computer
interfacing.  Phone Sydney, Australia (02) 808 2022.  Or the FAX:
(02) 809 7670.

Before I became a hemiplegic, I presented & published in their
Journal.  And after my accident as well.
