Subject:[NVC] Info Needed - dyslexia
From:John Rodgers
Date:Fri, 9 Dec 2005 02:22:01 -0600

Sorry for the NVC, but need help.

I've a friend - male, 56, dyslexic, slow learner handicap, two heart
attacks, but a fabulous jeweler and sculptor. Can't get work. Nobody
wants to hire a 56 year old who can't read.

I'm trying to help somehow. Any suggestions as to organizations I can
contact, or art rep types that might be interested in representing him
to galleries, etc. would be much appreciated. He went to the state
re-hab office where they tested him, put him through all the paces, then
said to him , "Yep, you're dyslexic, and have handicaps,. but we can't
help ... your not retarded as much as necessary to fit our profiles.!"
What a crock!

Anyway, any help, suggestions, etc. at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John Rodgers
