I'm a "special needs" bus driver. Special needs qualifications can be anything from a broken ankle to severe cognitive and learning disabilities. This is a record of some of the things that happen there. Well, that was the case. Now I'm just going to use this space to speak my mind about the Stratagen ADEPT system.

I picked up a DDA VI who sat in the front seat, as VI's often do.
I then picked up the only person in the system with the notation that says that in fact she does not have to go to the bathroom. She doesn't move very quickly most of the time and anopther dirver told me that she once asked where she should sit and when he told her anywhere, she sat on the floor.
And finally a guy whose voice sounds a lkittle like a croaking frog, except that he doesn't really take a break, he just complains incessantly.
I dropped the VI guy off and in the two minutes that spent doing so, she had moved from the back seat to the front seat. I have never actually witnessed her moving that quickly, butr there she was, belted in and all as though that was where I had left her.
We moved on and she began to complain, "Stop that," so I checked in the rear view and saw nothing going on. SHe then exclaimed, "Stop touching me!"
I looked back, I had been watching in the mirror and their "sixth sense" somehow knew and I actually saw nothing, but I asked Rudy what had happened and he croaked, "I just touched her, like that," and made a motion as thopugh he had just poked her in the back of the head.
