I recently happened across a website associated with the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.  It included a bunch of resources from the National Center on Disability & Journalism.  I am including many of them here that would be beneficial for legal nurse consultants, life care planners, and case managers.  A few of them may be repeats, but worth sharing again.
