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.
