Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm doing a homework assignment on school-age kids with disabilities. I'm most interested in grades five through twelve and those suffering from Learning Disabilities, but really, I'd like to encourage anyone with a disability to reply to this post. If you have gone to school while disabled, I'd appreciate it if you could answer the questions below to help me understand the perspective of others with disabilities. Anything more you can share with me about your schooling experiences would be great!

1.) How old are you?

2.) What is your disability?

3.) How has this disability impacted you?

4.) How has this disability impacted your family?

5.) What are the future implications this disability will have on you?

6.) What changes in your life style has this disability brought about?

7.) What changes in your attitude has this disability brought about?

No, I'm not planning on publishing it publically. I'm planning on compiling the information into an essay (without using real names) that will be read only by my professor. Though the kids themselves would be publishing the information on the Internet by answering this question here on the Forums, which is why they have to say they are over thirteen years of age when they join this site.
