I came across the following posting on the NIFL-LD listserv:

"For those of you that are not familiar with this resource, please visit the  
website of the Center for Research on Women with Disabilities at 
http://www.bcm.edu/crowd/.  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?
