[blindlaw] need advice

[via blindlaw]

Nic,
I appreciate your comments and after further thought, realize  that it was 
probably not the best idea to post it to this list.  At  the time, I was 
riding the emotional rollercoaster though and wasn't  thinking in those terms.  
I did post to a couple other lists also  and have received some very 
helpful responses.  
To be honest, I don't know that a conversation about  alternative 
reasonable accommodations or something of that nature is going to be  of benefit to 
me at this time.  I feel I have a pretty good "bag of tricks"  that works for 
me and there were options even in this particular scenario in  which the 
district could have chosen from, some of which would have put almost  no 
responsibility on the district at all.   They are simply flat  out refusing to do 
anything.  
So, thank you again for your response...and I respect the  reason for 
individuals on this list wanting to refrain from responding to my  specific 
questions.
Nicole

Dear  Nicole,
You might find that you don't get the response you're looking for  on this 
list. That is because this list is not for providing legal advice to  blind 
people, but is for blind lawyers to share tips and experiences regarding  
practicing law with a vision impairment. So while many blind lawyers might  
have similar experiences regarding reasonable accommodations as you, advising  
you what you should do next, particularly regarding mediation and formal  
complaints, would come very close to being legal advice and would probably  
even cross the line. On the other hand, if you wanted to discuss ways of  
accessing the information in your professional development or alternative  
reasonable accommodations etcetera, I'm sure many of us would be happy to  share 
our experiences.
All the best and good  luck,
Nic=
