This comes from the Coalition on Human Needs.  I am not a
card-carrying member of CHN, and I know from first-hand experience
that CHN is not  in lock step with the National Federation of the
Blind.  They refused to come out with a position statement against
subminimum wages when the TIME Act was being promoted.  They support
disabled individuals and groups; but since they attempt to cover the
waterfront in this area, I am sure CHN takes its cue primarily from
orgs that claim to speak for those who live with autism and other
intellectual or communication disabilities.

But just with respect to the Coalition's closeness to those who make
public policy, I believe this Webinar would be edifying to take part
in.  So I am passing it along as a matter of general interest.  I will
be tuning in.

Cordially,
