Anthony,
We have the same thing here in Aus. I just had a review from the
government in order to keep recieving the pension. One form for me
and one for my doctor. It drives me up the wall too. I keep wanting
to scrawl across the form in red pen `There is no cure you idiots -
still a cripple!!!'. I don't mind the CP - I DO mind having to
constantly prove it. I heard a story from someone about a friend of
hers who also has CP, and he got a call one day from a government
official who said `It says here in our records that you are cured'.
!!!!! His response, `Really? Well I'm looking at my w/chair that's
sitting across the other side of the room...'

follow them because there's no other way to work around them. But however,
I don't really understand the reasoning, if we have Cerebral Palsy or some
other non-curable disability that is medically known to last forever, why do
we have to continue running to the doctor to get ADA certified every 4
years, to me it's a waste of the doctor's time just for something that's
already known. I know that it has to be this way in cases like car
accidents or whatever and a person only needs help for a short time, but we
should have different levels of certifications.
Thanks,
Anthony

Actually, it does but I've never been ADA certified for it. If this goes
on much longer though I'm going to become certified beleive me. In fact, I
have a ton of the applications at work that I hand out for our clients. I
guess now I may have to certify myself...
