When you work with learning disabilities you'll discover that it is an alice in wonderland world. People decide that something is doable, and just keep on trying until they are prooved wrong. For instance getting up an hour earlier to go to a 50 year old man's house to escort him to college on public transport every day for 3 months just to see if he might ever do it by himself. now the cost is relevant, but not by normal criteria, and obviously we could not do this for the whole population all the time. we wouldn't expect to and it would be ridiculous to suggest it, we'd never have time for anything else. You need to be aware that it is going on, and so do the rest of the population. Examples of good practice need to be part of the guidelines, it is very difficult to describe how to do this without text, and how are LDD students to find out about accessibility..... btw didi you visit that gardening site http://www.peepo.com/alf/g.html it will give you all some insite into students needs and abilities, and what other staff are attempting, it might not be flash, but it is certainly mm. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.signbrowser.org.uk
