Answer 1

Do you know what exactly your disability is?  Are you still younger than 22 in the US?  Talk to your school counselor about your situation and find out what kinds of help might be available at school.  Students in special ed can receive education and training until they are age 22.  

Sorry you are having trouble at work.  That can happen to anyone.  You are the best person to help yourself if you really think about what you are doing or not doing and why.

If you need a plan or strategy for success, I would imagine that your parents are on your side and would help you.  But you have to follow through with the correct action.

Good luck.

-----OK, I just read your previous question.  Do you change your mind often about what you want to be able to do?  If you really want to be a vet, it is totally possible for you.  There are many people in colleges right now who have some kind of disability.  It boils down to desire and being willing to do the work necessary to succeed.

Forget a job during the school year.  Concentrate on learning.  Read what you should read -- get free textbooks and readers or tapes from Books for the Blind.  Your teachers should know how to access that resource.

Learn to write well, focus on clarity and punctuation.  Get "DragonSpeak" for your computer so you can speak to it as you write your essays and reports.  You'll still have to edit it, though.  Learn as much math as you possibly can.  Get tutors or spend extra time with your teachers.

There is no easy way out.  Too many times parents and students want things to be easier for them in special ed classes, but the truth is that because of your disability, you will have to work harder than most students.

Believe in yourself.  Work hard.  Don't ever give up.  You can achieve your dreams.
