This web cast was initiated, developed, and videotaped by T-TAP, a program sponsored by the Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor. The T-TAP program, based at the NIDDR Research and Rehabilitation Training Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, generously allowed this Web cast to be offered to JAN users free of charge. JAN thanks Terri Blankenship for her efforts. To view the selection of other T-TAP training web casts please go to: http://www.t-tap.org/training/livewebcast/lw.html.

The web cast was also informed through a collaboration between the International Center for Disability Information (ICDI) at West Virginia University and the Center for Personal Assistance Services (PAS) at UC, San Francisco.
