From the Information Specialist's Desk


  1. Welcome back from summer vacation! We at NCHPAD are enthusiastic about a wide range of activities and news, in addition to the Paralympic Games. As Dr. Rimmer's column highlights, the Olympics cannot embody the concepts of inclusion for athletes of all abilities without one integrated Olympics.
  2. In this issue we feature a new public health corner, a multiple sclerosis exercise video clip, NPCAD publications on an accessible aquatics facility in St. Louis, MO, spina bifida and exercise, nutritional tips for persons with cancer, and much more.
  3. Don't forget to explore NCPAD's new Web site at http://www.ncpad.org, with publications, programs, references, etc., at your fingertips.
