5. Community for Disabled

My name is Sandy & I'm trying to find people who would be interested in helping getting a high-rise or a community just for the physically handicapped started. I'm 48 & I have cp. I've been looking & there's nothing just for the physically handicapped. I don't know about you but I don't have the stamina to get such a project going myself & there is a need for it! If you could get me in touch with other people that might be interested, I would appreciate it. 

P.S. Have people e-mail me at
bones131@ll.net  Thank you! 		6. Forensic Prenatal Encephalopathy

I am a physician who specializes in forensic prenatal encephalopathy. My organization, Forensic Prenatal Group, performs not for profit studies to determine the following:

1. Type of encephalopathy. 
2. Cause and medical mechanism of encephalopathy. 
3. Probable time range of encephalopathic occurrence. 
4. Whether the encephalopathy was preventable (if desired to be studied.)

My organization also has a "Parent Support" division that is directed by a Pediatrician who is available to provide clinical information to parents and answer any medical oriented questions they may have regarding cerebral palsy related medical conditions.

I offer information support with regard to cause of Cerebral Palsy to any parent who is interested.
