And of course there are amputees etc. So one system is likely to be insufficient for everyone. <BR/><BR/>But then thats really how it should be anyway, systems taking into account diverse needs. So there needs to be diverse systems. The abled folk could have multiples as backups, let the disabled have an advantage for once maybe :)Battybattybatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030389503526882755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169987425032430936.post-29235289932341261382009-04-01T02:21:00.000-07:002009-04-01T02:21:00.000-07:00I have experienced MANY of these problems.

I'd rather give a fingerprint because it would be easier and a lot more consistent from document to document. Of course, most places won't allow that even though it's more foolproof than a signature. When I was a child, I could sign my mother's name so well that even she couldn't tell the difference.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this post was really excellent. It needs to be said and I hope that many people will see it and begin to understand how pervasive ablism really is.bint alshamsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658169355503798587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169987425032430936.post-86084140488169241812009-01-16T07:08:00.000-08:002009-01-16T07:08:00.000-08:00Absolutely!It's truly atrocious.Making you attend ...Absolutely!<BR/><BR/>It's truly atrocious.<BR/><BR/>Making you attend meetings in person when you have mobility issues and no private transport was another one.Battybattybatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030389503526882755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169987425032430936.post-54589116923738847182009-01-16T05:35:00.000-08:002009-01-16T05:35:00.000-08:00And the circular crap that happens if someone with...And the circular crap that happens if someone with cognitive disabilities tries to get support so they don't fail in all these areas:<BR/><BR/>"Fill out this form and make this appointment and take the form here and make that phone call and turn up at this time seven weeks away and sign this..."<BR/><BR/>"I'm severely dyspraxic," (the example of my partner) "I just can't do those things.
