There are at least three organized bodies concerned with computers and
the handicapped:
   1)   ACM SIGCAPH
   2)  an IEEE Computer Soc Tech Committee
   3)   IFIP WG6.5 (International Message Systems) subgroup on
          message systems and the communication impaired.
Questions:
  Is there a newsgroup where issues relating to this subject area
belong?    If not,  is there much interest in starting one?
'Handicaps' includes blindness, deafness, speech impediments, mobility
handicaps, and mental handicaps; not an exhaustive list.
(As a near-deaf person, my own interests are mainly handicaps
interfering with communications.)
  Please reply by MAIL if interested.
