The site contains news items, general information about CROWD, and content on their main topics of research (health behaviors, secondary conditions, health care, psychosocial health, sexuality and reproductive health, and violence). They have compiled some statistics about demographics and health disparities for women with disabilities that will be useful for advocates, policy makers, and grant writers. You'll also find materials for students and researchers interested in the health of women with disabilities and a long list of links to information resources. There is also a page listing research studies in progress for which they are currently recruiting participants." I am wondering if any of you routinely work with women who have disabilities? If yes, what types of disabilities do they have? What kinds of adaptive/alternative resources do you utilize to work with them? Do you encounter any obstacles while working with them?
