 I have listed all of the categories as they were in the publication, but I am not tied to them.  It has been 20 years since the creation of this publication so I'm sure that everything from the category names to the books included could be outdated.\\
 \\
 I have added two new sections/categories: [[http://lbphwiki.aadl.org/coping_skills#unemployment_job_hunting_added_2013|Unemployment/Job Hunting]] and [[http://lbphwiki.aadl.org/coping_skills#returning_vets_military_families_added_2013|Returning Vets/Military Families]].\\

-NOTE: I have created a format that I would like to retain if possible (for example, category name = Headline level 2; book format (talking book or braille) = Headline level 3; book titles = Headline level 4).  That said, I'm open for suggestions and corrections.\\
