I'm getting too much
email from COPAA's listservs. What can I do about this?
There are three main options for reducing the amount of email you get from COPAA or COPAALAW: digest (one post per day with all the previous day's posts), HTML index (one post per day that lists the previous day's posts with links to them in the archives), and nomail (don't receive any mail but read the list through the archives.) Directions for setting these options and for returning to your previous settings can be found here.
DO NOT unsubscribe from the lists - if you do, you will
no longer have access to the archives.
I'm going on vacation. How do I suspend my email and re-start
it when I return?
Follow the directions for setting COPAA or COPAALAW to nomail
(suspended delivery) here.
DO NOT unsubscribe from the lists - if you do,
you will not be able to restart your mail when you return
without help from the listowner.
Where can I read the
listserv rules?

Please read these before participating in the email lists.
What may I post to the
COPAA listservs?
Discussion of special education and advocacy issues, history,
and current events related to special education and advocacy
are welcome on COPAA. Posts with non-informative information
directed at a single person, such as "thank you," "I
agree," or "me, too", should be sent privately
off-list. Copyrighted material may not be posted to the lists,
although brief excerpts may be posted with the website address
of the full article.
COPAA/COPAALAW posts may not be shared with non-COPAA members
without explicit written permission of the original poster.
How do I post to the COPAA listservs?
To post to COPAA, send a message to copaa@listserv.icors.org To
post to COPAALAW, send a message to copaalaw@listserv.icors.org
How do I send a post
privately offlist?
Some people's email programs make it difficult to see the
sender's email address. To send a message offlist, use "forward" instead
of "reply". You will see the original poster's email
address in the "From" header of the forwarded email.
Or, if you right-click on the name and then select "properties",
you usually can see the actual address.
How do I request a change
to the email address I use to receive my COPAA listserv(s)
email?
Send email to listowner@copaa.org
I've
joined COPAA but don't have access to the COPAA listservs – why

People
use a lot of acronyms on the email lists – what do they
mean?
Some helpful glossaries include:
"Dictionary for Parents of Children with Disabilities" (in PDF format, you need Adobe Acrobat to read it) at http://www.usd.edu/cd/dictionary/.
A shorter "Glossary and Guide to Acronyms" (also in PDF) by Leslie Packer, Ph.D. is at http://www.tourettesyndrome.net/Files/acronyms_edu.pdf. A short webpage of "Acronyms Used in Special Education, Disabilities, Tests, Therapy and Other Related Terminology" can be found at http://uniquelygifted.org/acronyms.htm
