[nfb-talk] civil rights complaint

[H. Field]

Hi Aaron,
we have a chiropractor in our town and he is functionally blind. He 
could talk to you about what accommodations he uses. This is very 
silly though given that blind people have been doing this kind of 
body/healing, massage/manipulation sort of work for centuries.
I'll send you his contact information off list.

Regards,

Heather Field

A few years ago, I attempted to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic. 
To
make a long story short, they refused to provide accommodations. 
Rather
than wait for the resolution of a lengthy lawsuit, I decided to 
continue on
with my education somewhere else.  However, I did not entirely let 
them off
the hook.  I filed a complaint against them with the Davenport Civil 
Rights
Commission.  One of the issues that the Davenport CRC is asking me to
address is the assertion by Palmer that a sighted assistant would
significantly alter essential components of the program by interfering 
with
my decision making process.  Anyway, I am looking for help in 
answering this
question.  I would appreciate receiving any pertinent information or
comments on this topic.  I believe that their main concern was with 
x-rays,
but also with ear, eye, nose and throat exams.

Thanks in advance.

Aaron
