The following is posted on behalf of my client, Maryl Levine, of 
Bethesda, Maryland. All e-mail responses to this account will be 
forwarded to her.
****************************************************************
Hello.

I am interested in finding any information on organizations that:

	1) enable parents to do comprehensive future planning for an adult 
child with disabilities, and
	2) take the responsibility for the long-term, lifetime 
implementation of the planning through the provision of advocacy and 
support services.

Background:
	Individuals with disabilities need advocates and supportive 
services while their parents are alive and able to be their advocates. It 
would be desirable to have a "program" to provide quality advocacy and 
supportive services for the lifetime of the individual with the 
disability. This is of particular importance when the individual's 
parents are no longer living or able to be the primary advocates and 
decisionmakers. It would also be desirable for the parents of individuals 
with disabilities to be able to develop a long-term plan for the 
individual's future (with that person's involvement to the extent 
possible) and to have some level of confidence that an appropriate 
organization will manage and monitor the implementation of that plan.

Thanks very much.

I am a college student who has learning disabilities.  I have learned to 
work with my disability and have become a very good student.  I also went 
to a high school for students with learning disabilities.
This summer I would like to tutor LD students in LA, CA.  If anyone has 
any information on this please let me know.

Thank you!
