i have found the Americans with Disabilities Act to be very helpful in leveraging some "accomodations for disablility related functional impairments". some people of course have no respect for the law when it conflicts with their personal biases,, but others really seem to open their minds to the idea that you are seeking protection of your civil rights. if you want assistance in writing a letter under the provisions of the ADA, please feel free to send me a Private message here on PC,, and i would be glad to help.... best wishes,, Gus
