Cerebral Palsy Support Group
Cerebral palsy or CP is the most common childhood physical disability. It is a permanent physical condition that affects movement. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but various forms of therapy can help a person with the disorder to function more effectively. If you or a loved one has cerebral palsy, join the group to share your experience or get advice from others.
Hello, My name is Ramiro, and I am interested in meeting people
who have the same kind of CP that I do. I work full-time, and
don't need to use a cane or wheel-chair. I enjoy being with my
family, and I hit a heavy bag to help gain strength, on my legs
and arms. If you have questions, please send me a message. I
suffered through bullying, depression, and low- self esteem, but
thank God, I have been able to move pass those issues.

III. APPLICATION OF ADA LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO PERFORMANCE AND CONDUCT STANDARDS
Employers typically establish job-related requirements, the specific tasks or assignments that an employee must perform, and methods to evaluate performance. Evaluation criteria might take into account how well an employee is performing both essential and marginal functions and whether the employee is meeting basic job requirements (e.g., working well with others or serving customers in a professional manner). Employers might also enforce conduct standards (e.g., rules prohibiting destruction of company property or the use of company computers to access pornography). Certain performance and conduct standards will apply to all employees working for a company, organization, or government agency; others might only apply to certain offices or jobs within an entity.
A. Performance standards
1. May an employer apply the same quantitative and qualitative requirements for performance of essential functions to an employee with a disability that it applies to employees without disabilities?
Yes. An employee with a disability must meet the same production standards, whether quantitative or qualitative, as a non-disabled employee in the same job.14 Lowering or changing a production standard because an employee cannot meet it due to a disability is not considered a reasonable accommodation.15 However, a reasonable accommodation may be required to assist an employee in meeting a specific production standard.
I have mild right side CP, and am 45yo. It sounds like you are doing the best thing possible to stay mobile, by already having an exercise routine - just remember to stretch before and afterward (the stretching gets critical as you get older).
I had the bullying and self esteem thing very bad all through public school. I was an easy target, and was an "only child" so I had no siblings to stick up for me. Back in the 1980's the unofficial school staff advice was "hit them back". Luckily by the time I was in 10th grade I was foolish enough to surround myself with a lot of the "emotionally troubled" kids in HS ; they were all totally nutzo, but never judged me, and a few of the guys taught me how to "street fight" to a near savage level (basically like MMA, combo grappling and striking). The odds even out a lot, when you can pull some prick down onto the ground with you - and then choke them out.
Thanks for joining us!
MHR sent me to special tree to be evaluted physicaly & cognative
I notice after people read the report from special tree. People will start using simpler langue with me. Report discribes learning disability in addition to physical.
Because if this I no longer authorize anyone to see the report from Special Tree. The HR director at where I worked started dumbify after she read the report. I dont like getting to know new doctors.
