Finally

Ok so I have finally made the foray into the world of blogging. Now the dilemma…what bits of knowledge to impart to the world.
I work in post secondary education with students who have disabilities. Each day is an adventure. We have about 500 students and there are about that many different disabilities on our registry….from permanent physical disability due to a tick bite to deafness to psychiatric illness.
I practice diving under my desk each day (figuratively that is). But you never know what will happen and I believe in being prepared.
Sometimes it is harder to work with the instructors than it is the students. I think too much of the time the instructors do not look outside their own worlds. Frankly, I believe that they sometimes expect that those around them should understand what they are thinking. Truth be told often what they say isn’t even understood much less what they are thinking or what their unspoken intentions are.
I hope I do not seem too cynical, but I have been doing this for quite some time and have seen just about everything. At least I think I have but there is something new each day. I think that it will be my intention to first bring you up to speed on the occupation and service of working with college students with disabilities and add the something new each day that keeps me coming into work and also the things that cause me to have a spreadsheet with a countdown to retirement.
