I thoroughly enjoy this list!  After years of working in adult  
literacy programs,  I am now primarily in private practice with  
clients of all ages. One of the things I miss the most is not having  
colleagues to bounce things off of!  I try to make a professional  
meeting once a month in my area, but this list serves as a sounding  
board for me.... as well as a balance beam!  It reinforces what I am  
seeing and doing in my practice and keeps me open minded!  The  
suggestions for resources have been exceptional!  The "guest  
professionals"  and associated discussions have been great!  Thanks so  
much to everyone who takes time to contribute!
