You have identified the key here, Pamela. If students (ALL students) are counseled to consider other options based on their *performance* (rather than based on stereotypes re: disability) then they are truly being respected for their potential in the way that all other students are treated. In that kind of welcoming environment, disability becomes a necessary nuisance -- something that must be kept in mind because it sometimes creates logistical problems, but not something that will hold the student back. Way to go!!
