Hi, I am in summer school and its about to finsh up. I subjected myself
to 2 sessions of summer school, I get a 2 week break then I am right
back in school. The first session I made an incomplete, I need to
catch up but I am finding it hard to read 50 and 60 page chapters.
I am a c4/5 complete quad w/no movement below the shoulder. I have
a page turner but find it more aggrevatingthan using a mouthstick.
Anyone have any Ideas? My address is P.O. Box 323
Greenville NC, 27856-1234
thanx, Chad Harris

Try your state library for the Blind and Physically
handicapped. They have books on type and are connected to the
library in Princeton, N.J. which records textbooks for students.
Most of their services are completely free.

CH> Thanks for the suggestion. The director of handicapped services
CH> here at E.C.U. said that he has tried to qualify me for such books
CH> but they said unless I was visually impaired I couldn't receive them.
CH> That seemed a little ridiculous to me! I guess I need to tackle the
CH> problem myself.
I think your director is misinformed. I called my local
library and they informed they that the library services the
blind and the PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED. In N.C. contact the
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
N.C. Dept. of Cultural Resources Center
1811 North Blvd.
Raliegh, NC, 27635
Their 'phone number is
800-662-7726
Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is a
federally funded program which is available in every state. You
can arrange the service by phone and order books by phone which
you receive through the mail free of postage. I am physically
handicapped and have been using the service for nearly 15 years.

Steve, I rather wish I could have your attitude when it comes to reading, however, as I've said, I wouldn't ever get any reading done if I had to
not read with my walkman ears on. Oh well.
I should try telling them that I'm reading Playboy, eh?
Seriously, I tried a new technique yesterday. When a lady asked what I was reading, instead of going in to any detail, I just simply said, "Dialogue." Yes, I must confess, that's how far behind I am in my reading.
Bill.
