<div><font size="2" face="Arial">No, there aren't any extensive SSP services in New
York. We don't even really have an active consumer organization. There is the
deaf-blind group of NYC and Long Island, but they don't have formal gatherings.
It's more a social group than anything. I agree, HK should be more actively
involved in forming an SSP program. I don't set something more up myself because
of my active involvement with AADB, my job, and I'm considering going back for
another masters.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">When you say accepting what it means to be
deaf-blind, what do you mean?</font></div>
