  Thanks

I would start by looking at the Norton School web site for classes that would be good to take. At a minimum, one of you should get CDT certified in order to assure that these people are being treated properly. You can also contact your local garment vendors for the major garment companies such as Jobst, Juzo, Mediven, CircAid, Solaris. Good luck!!!
