Hi Y'all,



I just sent emails to the 4 people/groups I volunteered for...and I already heard back from the Chairman of the Burton Blatt Institute!!!  His name is Dr. Peter Blanck.  Dr. Blanck asked if we have a plain language version of the "Roadmap and Gap Analysis" document.



Do we have one?  Or is that something I could volunteer to help produce?



glenda



p.s..  here is a copy of the email Dr. Blanck just sent:

      Thank you Ms. Sims and hi also Judy.







      I will review the draft document with interest and provide comments as may be helpful.







      Is there also a plain language document version that may be reviewed by my colleagues with cognitive disabilities?







      Best regards.
