Stacie,
I agree. While it is not our job to teach disability-related coping strategies or compensatory techniques, it is our sincere hope that students will learn those (or have folks within their circle who can teach them!). My experience is that people with disabilities (like ALL individuals!) tend to gravitate toward work experiences that are comfortable for them. Perhaps the cosmetology student with ADHD would do better to work in a salon or under the direction of someone else, instead of working freelance? Some situation in which the structure was provided and defined for the position? I have to believe there are opportunities out there for folks with a variety of strengths.
