You should look at your states bar association for a list of lawyers.  For example: \nIllinois State Bar Association http://www.illinoisbar.org/\nhas a link to http://www.illinoislawyerfinder.com/\nWhich you can search "Select a Field of Practice = DISABILITY".  \n\nDo the same kind of search or call your local library.  They will know where to look.

I am severely dyslexic and YES there are many grants, fellowships, AND scholarships available. Dyslexia counts as a disability so long as it is documented. I suggest this web site to search for funding:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com

Helen Keller.  If they must be alive, you could go with Stevie Wonder (Blindness), George W. Bush (dyslexia), or Condoleeza Rice (Ethnicity, Gender and Socioeconomic Handicaps)

There are many kinds of disabilities. I was always too small to be good at sports, but participated at some level. Mrs. Hawkings says little Steven did not concentrate on school until he found out he had Lou Gerigh's disease(alateral scilorsis?). And there is nothing he rather do than work now. He gets to travel and is famous because of his difficulties. He has been on Star Trek and The Simpsons since he is so recognizable. \nPerhpas we all have some differences, things we are not good at and hopefully we contribute what we can and not pig out on resources.

People with disabilities have, historically, been put into institutions. They were kept apart from the community and abuse was very common.This has only changed in the past 30 years. I am unsure of exact websites but here are some search words that may help:\n\nmedical model of disability\nsocial model of disability\ninstitutionalisation\nChallinor Institute\nBasil Stafford Institute\n\nCheck out your local library too - there will probably be heaps to read.
