FOREWORD

This latest edition of the Poeple-to-People Committee fOr the Handicapped Directory ofOrganiza-lions Interested in the Handicapped is the product of the dedicated labors of a small, parttime staffthe cooperation of :hose organizations listed herein and the financial support of Committee members,particularly Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Ewing; and Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Warshaw.

This Directory became both a necessity and a labor of love when the Congress in its wisdom legislated an affirmative action program it the employment, retention and advancement of qualifi'edhandicapped men and women by employers having contracts with the Fedcral Government. Somehandbook was necessary for the U.S. Department of Labor to use in pointing out to employers whereand from whom they could obtain cooperation and assistance in the private sector in obtainingqualified workers with disabilities, including those with a history of mental or emotional ailment whowere ready for work and those who were classed as mentally retarded citizens who alro needed only anopportunity.

The Labor Department in issuing its Regulations to carry out the affirmative action section of theRehabilitation Act of 1973 saw fit to list the CFTH Directory as a source for employers. The smallsupply then remaining was speedily exhausted and some of the industrial giants and employer organi-zations resorted to duplicated versions of the 1973 Directory.

Thanks to Dave Brigham, CFTH Executive Director, and to Dorothy Dunnigan and Betty Tidrickof the. secretariat, we are happy to present this updated version for use by the people of America.

The Directory can be used as a cooperative kidge between the voluntary and public agencies inthe rehabilitation field and the marketplace where the jobs are. It is a reference source, by no meanscomplete or all-inclusive, but probably the only and best one available. A carefid reader will find hereinthose organizations concerned with the techniques. training, treatment, devices and proceduresutilized in the modern American drama of helping the handicapped to help themselves.
