We talked with a guy from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research about how we should go about talking to my Principal about my disability. He talked with us for 50 min on the phone and gave us a LOT of info and tips. So I think we're prepared to talk to the Principal. If the Principal isn't receptive to the idea of my working part time for now, then we'll take the next step with a much stronger letter to the School District. I've worked for the district for 13 yrs now so I hope that has a little impact on keeping my job position.
He also told us that I should file now for SSDI, so we printed off forms for that. If any of you have tips on filing for SSDI we'd love to hear them! He said it's much better to print off the forms and fill them out at home so you have time to think about answers as opposed to doing the interview over the phone and having to come up with answers quickly. So that's what we're going to do.
