I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts about working in the IT field with disability challenges. Myself, I'm hearing-impaired and visually-impaired. What are some of the challenges you face? How do you adjust to those challenges?

Disabilities are only limited by your RESULTS. If you find that you can create and achieve the same results with the devices you use...then you are NOT disabled. Computers require that you see...and very little to hear. That is a fact! Maybe tomarrow it will be different, but today it is still VISUAL.
YOUR MIND IS YOUR ASSET! If you are intelligent....blind and deaf... I would hire you as an advisor. Most companies want an ALL-IN-WONDER person. One man/woman to take care of ALL their technical needs. If you can do this, you won't have toubles. If you can barely see to make it in the front door. Chances are you might have to work very hard to prove yourself to the world. (Your mind being your greates asset)
