This directory is compiled to meet such a need. It is -»ossib’e because of the cooperation of each of the ten coordinators of the regional centers for services to deaf-blind children and their National Coordinator, Robert Dantona, Bureau of Education for the Handicapped, United States Office of Education. Special appreciation is extended to Ms. Shelley Cunningham, Graduate Assistant at Michigan State University during 1973-74, for her particular help and assistance in this task. It is hoped that from this modest beginning will develop a more sophisticated and complete directory in the years to come. User and reader suggestions for improvements and greater usefulness will be appropriate--and welcome.
