[nabs-l] citation question

[Arielle Silverman]

The citations are APA style. I have cited this statistic before too,
but always had to give secondary sources like the NFB website or other
articles who have quoted the statistic. I am sending this to a
prestigious psychology journal and most of the papers they publish
cite only academic sources (not usually organization websites), so I'm
hoping to find the original primary source if I can.
Best,
Arielle
