Is TSE ever planning to train people with multiple disabilities?  I  
would seriously consider going there in fifty years when Laveau is  
old, but to my knowledge I think they only accept deaf people who use  
a cochlear implant and who can understand speech.

Because I'm Deafblind and use American Sign Language (ASL) I'm pretty  
limited in my choice of programs, and sadly, many of the programs I'm  
limited to have some of the most paternalistic and custodial ownership  
agreements in the industry.
I think GDF has, in the past, accepted Deafblind people who use ASL  
for communication, however I have not read their ownership contract.   
I have read, on this list and elsewhere, that they give "ownership,"  
but the word "ownership" seems to be subjective if you look at  
programs like GDA and Fidelco.

Do not meddle in the affaires of dragons, for you are crunchy and  
taste good with ketchup.
