Hi!  I'm new on the block.  In fact, I'm not even sure if this will
make it out of my machine, but here goes...

I have an 8 year old daughter who has complete agenesis of the
Corpus Callosum.  I am very interested in any information on, or
resources for information on this very rare condition.  I am
interested in all imaginable aspects:  medical, behavioural,
educational, you name it.  I'm finding out quickly that there is
not a lot of readily accessible info, and the few medical articles
I have found are, for the most part, inconprehensible to anyone
without a medical degree.

I'm crossing my fingers, that this makes it out, (and that someone
will respond).  Please reply via e-mail if possible.
