I wonder -- often people think of deafness or blindness in terms of 100% disabled. What about people who have very narrow fields of vision (e.g. from macular degeneration or glaucoma), people with severe hearing loss that doesn't result in total deafness, etc. Many people don't realize I'm deaf because I have a cochlear implant and a REALLY good set of coping strategies. Sometimes push will come to shove when I ask for accommodations and other parties don't believe they're necessary or that I "deserve" them because I'm not "really" deaf. Just a thought from my personal experiences. :)
