Christine,
What type of job are you looking for? I always mentioned something
when there was a place on the job application and if not, when I got
the call to come in for the interview. Something like: "I have
cerebral palsy and have some difficulty with stairs. Is your
building accessible or are their railings on all steps?" Usually I
was asking this of the secretary but you knew she would go tell the
principal...They have to interview you and can't discriminate and I
never really had any problems.
