>Berkeley, CA - ending August 31, 2002 -Through the Looking Glass, National
>Resource Center for Parents with Disabilities, is a community based nonprofit
>organization.  Through the Looking Glass is conducting a nationwide project
>to learn more about families in which a parent with a disability is raising a
>teen (11-17 years old). The National Institute on Disability Research and
>Rehabilitation, part of the Department of Education, funds this project.  The
>staff is comprised of various specialists who have diverse cultural
>backgrounds, and nearly 80% of the 40 staff members are disabled, parents of
>disabled children, or members of families with disabilities.
>
>** WHAT DO WE MEAN BY DISABILITY?**
>Disability can involve physical, visual, systemic, hearing, cognitive,
>learning, developmental and mental health issues.  Why are we conducting
>research?  Although there are over 10 million families in which one or both
>parents have a disability, relatively little is known about the experiences
>of these families.
>
>** WHO CAN PARTICIPATE**
>Parents with disabilities and Deaf parents who have teenagers (children 11 to
>17 years of age). The parent and the teenager are both welcome to
>participate.
>
>** WAYS TO GET INVOLVED**
>-- Participate in a national survey of parents with disabilities who are
>raising teens age 11-17.  Your teen can also fill out a survey and receive $5
>in return.
>-- Surveys are available in a variety of formats: Online and printable at our
>website, in Spanish, over the phone, and in a version specific to Deaf
>parents.
>-- Deaf parents can participate in a face-to-face interview in ASL if you
>live in or near one of the following cities:  San Francisco, Seattle, Santa
>Fe, New York, Kansas City, or Washington, DC.
