Acknowledgements

I want to thank the IL NET partners, ILRU and NCIL, for their support and their commitment to this project. I am encouraged by the apparent growing interest in the IL field in being inclusive of persons with all types of disabilities. I hope this booklet will be of service to both centers for independent living and consumer alike. I also want to thank Ann McCampbell, M.D. and Darrell Jones for their detailed editorial assistance and suggestions.

And thanks to Susan Molloy, M.A. for helpful feedback on selected chapters and input about Electrical Sensitivity.
