Let me share with you this idea and feel free to comment. I would like establish a 1-800-### for all the disabled and those associated with the handicap for the purpose of exchanging valuable information on education,rights,medical,etc... I am a father of a blind child and have found that information at best is by word of mouth. I feel that there is a great need for a point of contact between the handicap ,support groups, and the agencies that may be of bennefit. If anyone knows how and what is needed to accomplish this please feel free to comment. I shall be waiting for any and all replies. Thankyou.
