My team is small and my school has very limited resourcesfor me to use, however a man who works with me at a summer camp spent years volunteering at a school for the blind and deaf andhas agreed to help me develop a plan.

TThe reason I see for the discouraging is that they dont see how he could fit in or how we could help him and quite frankly they feel we dont have the time during build season to change things, I feel however that we have 7 months to get him used to what we do and let him get involved.

My self and my girlfriend have worked with him in many clubs and do our best to keep him involved. I am pleanty willing to take him under my wing, however I am a programmer, well i gues I am every thing, I helped with design and building and did all the programming. He already told me he didnt think he dold to the programming because his ability to type is limited. However I am not going to give up trying to find the spot for him, my selling point for the team is that there is a place for every one but this one is proving a little bit of a challenge (then again I havent had a good challenge since those 6 weeks in the winter ended.) I have one question for those of you who have been to the manchester kickoff, do you think it would be possible for him to walk the field next year so he could understand the game without seeing the animation?

My final thing to say is if any of you ever get a chance to converse with some one blind or deaf (yes 90% of deaf persons can carry on a conversation in some manner.) take advantage of it, I garuntee it will rank among the best you ever had these people in no way see tthere disability as a hinderance and instead develop incredible abilities in other areas.
