Join the Local Groups

Make sure that you join the local 'support' group for people with your type of disability, or even a general group for people with disablities. One such group is Californians for Disability Rights (CDR), or http://www.disabilityrights-cdr.org/. This group helps to support the rights of people with disabilities.

If you are interested make sure to follow up and send in the enrollment form. No groups in your area? Start one, make your own support group if need be. A lot of times the national organizations will help with materials and other support services to help you to get your group going.

So make it a goal this week for yourself to go to a support group or to start one. Please post a comment and let us know what resources you have in your local area. I will also try to start a listing of resources so when you are looking you will be able to look here to find a comprehensive list. So help me out and add some resources.
