Message-ID: <154@deepthot.UUCP> Date: Sun, 12-Feb-84 23:11:55 EST Article-I.D.: deepthot.154 Posted: Sun Feb 12 23:11:55 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 15-Feb-84 07:07:02 EST Organization: UWO CS, London Canada Lines: 15 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.
