The cure to information overload
is more information.
~David Weinberger
We hesitate to say TMI (too much information), but there’s a deluge of resources to share with you in this issue of the Buzz. So many, in fact, that we’ve divided the newsletter into two parts: resources for Parent Centers and resources for families and professionals. And to make the issue easy to skim, the resource descriptions have been pared down to the minimum. Zoom in on the titles of interest to you.
Our best to you all,
The CPIR Team | Debra, Lisa, Jessica, Ana-Maria, and Myriam
