Helmi, I'd be very careful, Helm, about assuming that because of disability, someone cannot do something. It isn't that you have to ignore the obvious (such as "a student in a wheelchair cannot run up stairs and that is something a paramedic must be able to do), but don't assume that the typical way things are done are the only way things are done. That same student in a wheelchair who cannot function as a paramedic may be able to function very effectively as a physician -- because not all physicians are involved in life-or-death actions. We all have a bad habit of "what if" appraisals (that is, thinking about the problems that MIGHT ensue, instead of focusing on the opportunities that might be possible). Dr. Jane Jarrow
