john and wysiswyg:
it's not that i want her to be able to use a wheelchair. i know she can get away with that, hell, we even joked about getting her an iBot (she wouldn't complain
). but, it comes down to this. she wants to be independent. she can walk, just not fast. i've walked across the school with her. took maybe twice as long, but she likes being able to walk, not tied to her chair. so, that means she'll refuse to use a chair. and she's stubborn, you don't have your way with her. she has her way with you.
i don't think she wants to be singled out as "special" though either. i may be wrong about this part, but i'm pretty sure she'd rather be a driver, and just have fun. so, for the umpteenth time, this rule should be removed. and now that the E-Stop button isn't an issure, problem solved, i would think.
