What is Mac Education Society?

I am very keen to contact professionals and parents of handicapped 
children with cognitive problems in language, communication, vocation, 
or in other subject matters.  I am president of Macintosh Education 
Society(MES) besides teaching at Hyogo University of Teacher Education 
near the cities of  Kobe and Osaka, Japan.  This is a non-profit making 
organization that has been established for seven years now whose 
mission is the enhencement of life and opportunities of children and young
adults with learning problems extensively using Macintosh computers.
MES aims to encourage the exchange of ideas and information and 
cooperation of the different disciplines working with this population.

MES is also helping parents who need further support in educating their 
children with learning problems.  A number of parents are participating 
as active members.  We have special education teachers, speech 
therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation engineers, university
professors and many others in our membership. 

We sponsor monthly meetings, publish monthly newsletters both in print
and digitized text, workshop and demonstrations, retreat and lectures
and more.  We have a booth at Macintosh World Exposition in Tokyo
every year by providing information on educational software, alternative
and augmentative communication devices.  We have produced a CD-ROM
which contains teacher-made educational software in order to 
encourage school teachers, administrators, parents other disciplines
and parents to use technology to empower children's potentials.  We 
assess a number of educational software and peripherals for children 
with cognitive problems who need better opportunities in learning.    

If you need more information about Macintosh Education Soceity and its 
activities, please feel free to write.  I should be more that happy to respond.
