-- Posted by AloneAngel at 4:21 am on Aug. 18, 2008 Because of my learning difficulties I am entitled to have a laptop to help me take notes in lessons, and to do my coursework at college. I have a lot of trouble writing quickly or for more than 2 minutes. I also have appalling hand writing. Thing is I am worried that I will break it (I have to return it at the end of my course) and another part of my disability means I lose things, so thats a worry too. Plus I have 45 minutes to travel everyday and I am physically very weak so it might be hard to carry it? opinions, advice please? -- Posted by blufindr at 4:22 am on Aug. 18, 2008 See if they have a small model of laptop that is cheap/light/tough. I know ASUS used to make them like that. -- Posted by hurriyah38 at 4:23 am on Aug. 18, 2008 just try it & see -- Posted by deaths door14 at 4:43 am on Aug. 18, 2008 you could always just try it out and then say it's not working and give i back...or couldn't you just keep hold of it in class until you need to take it home or something. -- Posted by Sunshine Buddy at 1:00 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 They should consider all aspects of you disability. Tell them what you need and they should accommodate all your needs. -- Posted by Velico112 at 8:55 am on Aug. 19, 2008 Id do it in a heartbeat
