Brent,
That's a reasonable concern and a good question -- will there be jobs available for people with disabilities who need a little longer to accomplish the same thing, or accomplish the same goal through alternative means? There are several possible answers that come to mind -- first, the laws that protect equal opportunity in education also require equal opportunity in the workplace (and the fact that a worker is not disabled doesn't mean they are good at the work to be done! GRIN). Then, too, the person with a disability may find new and unanticipated ways to use the education they are gaining. They do not necessarily have to use it in only one setting or instance. Perhaps the bottom line is that we cannot guarantee employment for any student, disabled or not. We provide them the tools, and they decide what to make of them (and find their own opportunities).
