Re: Disabled drivers

Because our team is half made up of students from the American School for the Deaf, we have quite a few disability issues.

As far as drivers and driver stations go, last year, we had a deaf human player. Our primary driver could sign, so would interpret drive meetings for José (our deaf human player), and he would understand what to do during the game, and what the primary strategy is, etc.

This worked out fine. We had no problems as far as miscommunication between our human player and what his job was on the field for that particular match.

So I guess in this case, we worked around the problem and found a solution without providing additional equipment, because this is what would have had to have been done in the real world.

On the flip side though, I don't see why providing a stool for a short person would be such a big deal. This is a real-world aid that is easily accessible, and doesn't require any expensive or complicated device. It's a stool.

My 2 cents.

Jacob
