You know, Anthony, I wonder the same thing every time I have to go to my doctor to get my handicapped tag renewed for my car. Seems to me once one is diagnosed as a CP, he or she could have a tag forever without the hassle of renewal, but I suppose it's easier to put the burden on us, the drivers and doctors, rather than on the state and DMV.

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.

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... Magenta Raine <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Bill, doesn't Fresno have a paratransit van?
