Hello -- this
might be too late for the school project, but hopefully this would help anyone
looking for disability related listservs and usenet groups. Listservs are
difficult to evaluate because subscribing to numerous discussion lists results
in too many messages in one's e-mail box. However, if you are willing to try,
Jim Lubin's Web page has an extensive list of disability related resources
(including listservs and usenet group). The URL is:
http://www.eskimo.com/~jlubin/disabled.html
If you don't have access to the Web you are welcome to send us an e-mail
message and we will pull the list off the Web and e-mail it to you (send
your message to: uwat at u.washington.edu). Good Luck!
