Yes I'm all legal. I was just going to renew my ban here but I couldn't resist thinking about just what modifications would you put in place for someone with psychiatric disabilities at an online forum ? At jobs, some of the things I've heard of are clearly outlined duties and procedures, just dealing with one person, a job coach, shorter hours,one on one training..........
What adaptations you could you use here? This board seems like just the opposite. Ill-defined rules,no discussion,no guidance in what is "acceptable" no mediation,just increasing bans.Almost any adaptation would have to involve more coaching or instruction probably but there would have to be clear standards first. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that a lot of people with significant disabilities MAY NOT be able to use this site! At least not over a long period of time given the new sentencing guidelines and the volatile nature and emotional ups and downs of lots of emotional illnesses.
Hope that doesn't sound insens*tive.
Although a lot of people wouldn't want to be labeled disabled in order to get the special modifications probably. I dislike labeling people anyway. I've seen people labed as being all over the psychological spectrum when they were just openminded gentle sensitive people!
So it probably wouldn't work. But maybe it should!!!
