Hello Melissa,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Denise Barnett. I am a graduate student at North Carolina Central University. In one of my classes we have been asked to do a group project. For our group project we have been asked to be find a cause to become agents of change for. We have choosen to make our class as well as the public aware of the legislature regarding the Infant-Toddler Assistice Technology Rescouce Centers.
I was wondering if you happened to have an literature such as brochures regarding the centers or if you knew of any actual centers I could go to to pick some up.
We have started a facebook page to Save NCATRC. It is under Agents of Change. There is a picture of a little girl using the computer by the name. If you have Facebook please join! We are adding new information everyday! Thank you for your blog! It has really helped us in finding information for the centers!
Thank you ,
Denise Barnett
