[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any expectations because I dont know what the world will be like when DC enters the workforce.  It is 10+ years away.  I do know that the increased technology and the ADA will help him.  If he needs accomodations, it would be things similar to someone who is blind or deaf.  He has some motor integration issues that make it difficult for him to write and type, but the speech to text software is helping him now and is only going to get better (just like it helps all those doctors whose handwriting is illegible :) ).  Same for the text to speach software he uses to access his textbooks. I believe that most employers allow their staff to utlize things like calculators, which is another one of his accommodations.  They also allow people to get up and walk around ever 30 minutes or so - which helps quite a few people to clear their head and perform more productively.

So mainly he will need added software.  It is only a big deal if someone like you makes it a big deal.  Do you really care if someone listens to their email or dictates their e-mail instead of reading and typing it?
