I am looking for someone who would be interested in doing an interview with me. I am a student at the University of Arizona in the Special Education Rehabilitation Program. One of the assignments for the class is to interview someone who has special needs or who has a child that has special needs, so that we can better serve the community later in our careers. If anyone is interested please respond; the interview would be over msn instant messanger or email. Thanks

I would give you an interview. I have a severely autistic daughter.
She is 5 years old and is in a cognitive/autistic impaired class. I would answer any questions that you have. Reply with your e-mail and then I will write to you and you can respond with your questions. I'll check back 6/28/06.
