Questions & Answers
Question : What are the laws regarding students with disabilities attending college in the UK?
My nephew was just identified with dyslexia. I'm not well versed in the laws/regulations pertaining to students with disabilities in the UK. Specifically, students attending college.
He is attending college in England.
Answer:
i depends what country you're from (or what country the college in question is situated). England & Wales have different laws from Scotland and Northern Ireland. Although, most collages anywhere in the UK will have facilities to accommodate and/or help people with dyslexia, its a very common thing, and isn't regarded as a 'disability'

Question : Why are some disabilities "trendy" and more deserving of support than others?
I was really upset to see a news interview this week with a man who has AIDS, who admited he got it from using IV drugs, saying he receives assistance for his mortgage payment, he takes taxis everywhere that are paid for, that he doesnt have to do without anything. The AIDS association pays for his internet, bought him a computer, pays someone to do his housework, his yardwork, etc.
He is also completely mobile, not yet incapacitated by AIDS.
This really angers me, WHERE is this same support for people with MS, ALS, Post Polio, and other disabilities that are debilitating? No one is paying mortgages for these other disabled people, or for taxis etc. And their disabilitiy is not the result of a life style choice.
WHY does our society treat people who became disabled through choice as if they are such poor deserving "victims" while other disabled people are basically ignored and marginalized?
I dont even know what to call this kind of discrimination.
I met a man the other day who worked his whole life, then one day 20 years ago, while at work there was a mixed communication and the bucket of the front end loader was dropped onto him. Smucked him, broke his back, his pelvis, his hips, his legs, his spleen was damaged, ribs broken, lung punctured - you name it, he had it.
Workers Compensation said he was faking it, he received benefits for two weeks then was cut off, and got nothing else from them.
Yet he survived to drag himself into the store, alone, with no assistance given to him to buy dog food and rice.
Poor guy just isnt "trendy" enough to get the assistance he needs.
Answer:
You are absolutely correct. The same would hold true if the person were deaf or blind. No help available, even if needed.
I suppose, Isotope, that you can count your blessings that you still have your wits about you and that you are able to manage despite health problems.
I suspect it's because AIDS has become a celebrity cause, and with the celebrity worship that goes on in this country, if a star says it's worthwhile, then, by God, it's worthwhile.
Still, it doesn't seem quite fair, does it?

Question : What kind of show do you think would be interesting for people with disabilities>?
I am working with a crew and we are doing a public access show for people with disabilities that range from MD to people with traumatic brain injury. Would you want to see something informational or something with 'a day in the life of - - - - -'?
Answer:
I teach high school students with severe, multiple disabilities. My students like shows with music...specifically singing.....they like audience applause. They also really enjoy animals and physical comedy. My students relly enjoy American Idol, Animal Planet, Steve Irwin, movies with real people, not cartoons...but comedy....like Elf, E.T., Jingle all the Way. When considering programs for people with severe disabilities, it should be something they don't have to understand all the spoken language to enjoy.....you should be able to understand the jist of the show even with the sound off. Good luck!
