I would really like to see some of you, who have contacts with companies, governments and voluntary groups,promoting the provision of homework by disabled people, using computer systems, of one kind or another... This sort of employment could infact be boundry less, offering distance employment to those in most need, people who would not normally be able to travel to a workplace, but never the less could provide a worthwhile contribution, to any organisation.. It is a sad truth that most disabled support groups are still controlled by able bodied people, I can honestly see the reason for this, it is very hard to locate a suitably mobile qualified disabled person (remembering the variety and forms of disabilities that need covering and the energy needed).. Anyway, if you (the able bodied and those in positions of authority), would be so kind as to consider this proposal.. There is of course no harm whatsoever, considering suitable disabled persons for any company or organisation position, I think in truth, this could only enhance our case that, in most areas, we all, are indeed able.. Best Wishes to you all, hoping that some response is forthcoming very quickly..
