Overcoming
Obstacles
The
primary goal of Overcoming Obstacles, A Catalogue of FOP Resources
is to collect the experience, wisdom, adaptations, ideas and
gadgets of the FOP community in one convenient place. We want
everyone to benefit from the efforts of the past. This database
contains, in an updated form, all the information originally
presented in: What is FOP? A Guidebook for Families, the newsletter
FOP Connection, and the IFOPA booklet, Aids for Independent
Living. If you find an outdated telephone number or website,
or want to suggest one that we missed, please let us know
by email at together@ifopa.org.
Thank you*
