Re: <Clear Language> Link to Functional Needs

Hi Jeanne and Janina
Are you aware of the feedback from COGA on functional needs? We spent a lot
of time getting a consensus on the changes needed from COGAs perspective.
Should we reopen it as an issue for APA?
When that is complete we would like to work on the section on comorbidity,
but we were asked to wait until our initial round of feedback was addressed.
Could you let us know when we can move t this second phase?

Our initial feedback is at docs.google.com
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ndRziXRfnyAgDaL8ctByQagDdM36H8QxV44lO3u8zgc/edit#heading=h.al9gb7xmrm2b>
Please let me know if you need it in a more accessible format
