Especially for the post about asking for special aids or missing school, can you include things like epilepsy, CP, Parkinson’s (yes, younger people can have Parkinson’s) since I do a lot of volunteer work and surprisingly those of us with neurological disorders tend to not be as vocal. When I was at LSU, the guy in head of disabilities said, “people with epilepsy never come to ask for accommodations and I don’t know why.” I would really appreciate more posts geared toward the neuro side.

Thank you for writing in! I’m going to take a look over the next few days and see if we can cover that a bit better. If there’s anything you’d like to see posted in particular (or anyone else) submit & we’ll put it through.

Also, if it takes a bit longer, your patience please - as I wrote the mods are having a bit of a time right now, but I’m going to try & get some resources out that as soon as possible!

Thanks again c:
