Teresa,
While it is always nice to hear about students with a positive attitude, and faculty who have a positive attitude ABOUT them, beware of the "supercrip" syndrome... the idea that these students are somehow more noble or more driven "because of their disability (intoned in a deep, announcers' voice with echo). If they work hard, that will be rewarded with success, as it will be for every other student. But I'd like to think that their hard work is a result of a good work ethic, not their disability.
