There is no agreement on the terminology, most of which is not exactly respectful. All of us have some ability or other that is not exactly the same as anyone else's. But the course of human societal development has been very lopsided, with respect and dignity given more lip service than practice. I see no reason why computing tools should not also be handy for persons with mental challenges, in fact. So 'physical challenges' is not the right description either. There are some scenarios also where the line between physical and mental challenges is blurred. > SK > > -- > Shakthi Kannan > http://www.shakthimaan.com > _______________________________________________ > network mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in > -- Vickram Fool On The Hill <http://communicall.wordpress.com>
