Larry Bissonnette lives in Winooski, Vermont. He is an artist whose paintings have been exhibited both locally and nationally. He has been using facilitated communication for over four years. He was one of the individuals featured in the videotape on independence called "Every Step of the Way." He was inspired to share some of his words and thoughts for this newsletter after reading our Spring 1995 issue. Larry types with shoulder support.
