Seems like folks of all abilities want a "coach" as todays news includes upward boung managers want their companies to provice a personal coach instead of company training.<BR/><BR/>Nicely writen, and from the ability point of view. I have been advocating for this approach myself. Congratulations to Chris for sharing, and inspiring others.Kathy Podgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489944336685763154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418484.post-22543928576316132432007-02-23T12:36:00.000-06:002007-02-23T12:36:00.000-06:00The joy of reading this is in its simplicity.

It's so good to read about someone going about their work and everyday life written from an everyday perspective, rather than the received media perspective on disabled people which tends to involve the overuse of patronising words such as 'plucky', 'brave' etc. No doubt Chris would hate that. He clearly enjoys his job, his workplace, his routine. These are all things of great value in anyone's life.seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418484.post-21428340740247217702007-02-20T20:03:00.000-06:002007-02-20T20:03:00.000-06:00"Chris has an excellent memory for names and knows..."Chris has an excellent memory for names and knows almost everyone in the company."<BR/><BR/>(cheerfully:) Here we go! Chris is most likely not faceblind. He recognises the people whom he sees. On the other hand, I struggle to learn how to identify people by secondary (nonfacial) features. I've been at the same place of employment for a year and only just <BR/>recently realised that we have <I>two</I> male custodians.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Chris is quicker at tying shoelaces than I am, too.<BR/><BR/>There are things that are easy for Chris and difficult for me, and vice-versa.<BR/><BR/>Kind of blows the "low/high functioning" categories out of the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418484.post-13422991506845027142007-02-19T22:35:00.000-06:002007-02-19T22:35:00.000-06:00And what a smile it is!
