hi everyone
The "hi2u 4 people with hidden impairments" web site, was set up to highlight difficulties of "disabled people" who have hidden difficulties.
I have recently placed an article:
"Education and Technology"
by Adelaide La Blanche-Dupont.
at: http://www.btinternet.com/~a.j.hayes/Visitors-10.html
Adelaide La Blanche-Dupont, writer and graduate of Cambridge Public School (1989-95) and Kings College, Cambridge University, has written an article about her experiences with education and technology within the British school system. She was born in Aix-en-Provence, France, on September 16 1978 with a hearing impairment in the right ear, and while visiting Horsham, West Sussex in 1982 was near-drowned in a pool causing acquired brain injury and paralysis on the right leg, which cause various developmental and cognitive problems. However, she is highly gifted, talented and widely read: she majored in Literature for her BA degree and has succeeded both academically and socially. Since 1995 she has been cultivating an interest in Central and Eastern Europe and studied geopolitical psychology and displacement behaviour. Her first professional essay when she was fifteen was 'Days of Failure' and her first novel was 'Mixed-Up Mam'zelle'. Her interests include reading, writing, public speaking, travelling, friendships, badminton, Eighties music, psychology, disability activism, Web design and fine dining (especially Mexican, Thai and French), and she is the author of the 'Remedial School' and 'Guernsey Collegiate' series as well as plays, poetry, short stories and essays. She lives with her mother and step-father and has a boyfriend of three years. Currently her latest novel is 'The Sorrows of Young Wladek' and she hopes to work on a book called 'The Geopolitical Woman' for which most of 2001 has been spent researching on and off the Internet.
The "hi2u 4 people with hidden impairments" is totally voluntary run and I would welcome any articles and stories from others with first hand experience. Input from others is also appreciated.
