NPF has a collection of excellent booklets about PD which are
available free for the asking.
Many - perhaps most - of the booklets are also available on-line.
They can be read on-line and they can also be downloaded for
future reading. To access that material, link up to the Website:
http://www.parkinson.org .
When - after a long wait - the home-page finally gets
loaded, check the SITE DIRECTORY on the left of the screen;
click LIBRARY, then click ON-LINE PUBLICATIONS. Note that they are "zipped"
and will open with "Zipit" software.

>Hi!

>I am 47 years old, diagnosed for 3 years. My question/query/wonder is
>about my job. I teach - Science - to middle school children (and, no,
>I'm not crazy. Well, maybe I am, but I do enjoy my time with 7th
>graders. Never a dull moment.). I have told the students in the past
>that I have PD, but I would like a video about PD that would explain the
>disease to my students. Preferably, about 30 -40 min in length, if
>things go well, I can maybe squeeze an extra 4 or 5 minutes in class
>period.
