I posted the notes from the work group that was working defining access. It was me that suggested that we use sub categories that follow theAmericans with Disabilities Act. Now that I think more about redefining the Access category, maybe it should just be eliminated. My reasoning for this is that the word "access" refers to either anadjective that describes something, fore example access/housing. Theword access can also be used to describe an action, for example, acess to information, access to services or any other use of the word you care to use. Given this problem thatwe face with redefining access as a category, maybe it is better off being elimnated. Just my thoughts on this issue. I welcome the debate and any other suggestions that anyone else has to say about this issue. --- Lou Diehl, Associate Director PA SILC HHHarrisburg, PA 17101 717-236-2400 mrlou@tsbbs13.tnet.com
