Stephen, Your experiences attest to the capabilities that remain, rather than disabilities that limit. And you are correct -- THAT is what the ADA is all about. Many years ago, there were huge advancements in the field of rehab engineering that emerged at Purdue University because they had a huge Ag school. They also were seeing a large number of farmers who had been seriously injured while working their farms -- missing limbs from thrashers, spinal cord injuries from run-ins with heavy equipment, and so on. These gentlemen (as it was almost always males) wanted and needed to continue to work. So the engineers at Purdue got together with the Ag folks and developed adaptations to tractors that would allow them to be operated with one hand, pedals that could be operated with only one foot, and so on. That was 40+ years ago. Think what we can do with today's technology! Dr. Jane Jarrow
