Elizabeth, I don't disagree, Elizabeth. I think there ARE fields that are simply not open to people with certain disabilities to perform in the typical way. But keep in mind that there are non-typical ways of using information. I have a colleague who gives a speech called, "Of Blind Mechanics and Hemophiliac Industrial Arts Teachers I Have Known." He says that, in truth, he has only known one of each, but it was enough to teach him never to say never! The blind mechanic was a young man who had grown up around cars and garages because his father owned the local repair shop. He lost his vision gradually over time, due to diabetes. He could listen to an engine and tell you where to look for the problem. And that is what he did -- he listened and diagnosed, he didn't do the repair work. He owned the garage (when his father retired), and he hired others to do the work. Dr. Jane Jarrow
