I have met a lot of disabled people in my life. I guess when you do not go out except for in your wheelchair and almost always have your communication device with you, you are going to get some questions.. And I guess it's only natural that many people who come up to talk to me know someone, a relative, grandchild, a cousin, or something like that. I don't know how many times I have heard the people I am meeting with say that they wish that their loved one had something like this communication device.

Okay, we live in a country where most everyone can go to to school at no cost. And those who are unable to go to school are entitled to having a teacher come to their house to give them lessons. I'm almost sure that those school services are available to anyone that wants them.

Now I know that a lot of people become disabled when they get older. But most of these people will go through hospitals to receive the care that they need. Surely there are speech therapists who are there to help these people.

I guess I just do not understand why so many disabled people choose to sit around and do nothing with their lives
