Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Hi Roxanne I live in California now, but I lived in Fitchburg and Leominster when I was in the 3rd grade until I started high school. I always keep my eye open for info from various states and I catalog info by states as well. I will send more when I have a little more time. Thanks, Kathy MASSACHUSETTS STATE RESOURCES Updated 2/28/2001 State Agencies/Organizations Protection and Advocacy Disability-specific Organizations Technology-Related Assistance Parent Organizations Other Disability Organizations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNITED STATES SENATORS Honorable M.
