Anyone else with a disability in VCE/year 12?

So I'm doing year 12 this year and I'm vision impaired (basically legally blind at this point), have been since end of 2012 so I'm generally used to it by now. But I'm not going to lie, it does make VCE a lot harder as I rely solely on listening to teachers to take notes since I can't see a whiteboard and such. I was curious as to whether there is anyone else with a disability (of any kind, not just vision impairment) on here doing vce? Would be nice to hear about how others are going as I find it hard to relate to my friends at school in regards to vce.

Not me personally, but one of my good friends at school is an amputee and another gets really bad bone pain from rheumatoid disease, which can be so bad sometimes she struggles to sit up at all.

In the same boat as you but i'm hearing impaired (since birth) and have no hearing in the high frequency's of sound, so i have to concentrate harder on what the teacher is saying so i don't start missing things which can lead to embarrassing moments when you just don't understand what's being said.
I'm thankful my classmates are not loud or i would be so screwed  haha :P

I guess I can say that I do. I was born with a facial deformity and have had countless surgeries (my last which was almost a month ago;major jaw surgery, which has made eating hard and energy levels low ) which has made me fall behind/I'm still recovering from.
