An VERY important site to use for keeping up with Texas disability legislation (bills passed in the last session, those not signed, etc.) and much more can be found at the Advocacy, Inc. website.   They have lawyers available for filing selected lawsuits, and can help parents advocate at ARD meetings for improvements in their disabled people's eductional setting.

For political satire and humor even MORE pointed than my own "gallows" humor, check out Beyond Blonde's funnies  at: http://www.beyondblonde.com/politicalhumor.html

There is a great collection of Disability Links at the Shilo site, for advocacy, support, resources, defense, law, research and more.
