Yes, Anita, Marianne is correct. You may even want to rewrite what you wrote, and let him know that with Cerebral Palsy, a brailler would be too heavy, and, your hands could not do the slate and stylus. Marianne is right about what goes on with a receptionist job; there are many appointments to keep track of. Best of luck, and don't give up!
