I would like to hear from any individual/organisation who can offer
help/support to any disabled person, of any age/disability, or
disability range..
I am really interested in all forms of re-education for the older
person (26 years plus), even for those in their 4th decade..
I provide a support service, mainly aimed at the more mature
person, who for reasons of disability are unable to function in the
accepted normal way.. ie..
Unable to get to a place of employment..
Unable to get to an advanced education centre..
Really those who are not even able to socialise, so plainly lead a
very restricted life, the few, as far as I am concerned, that
Society NEGLECTS..
I know, because I am one and have been housebound for four years.

There are indeed a great many able bodied readers out there, who
are, I am very pleased to say, offering us their support..
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..
