ok first up, I am in Australia, so not sure if my reply is of any help...
I am 35 year old female with CF and 7 years post double lung tranplant
I can't exactly say my teachers were supportive at all throughtout my schooling with regards to my education and CF...
My 4th grade teacher in front of the whole class told me i wasn't worth teaching because I was going to die anyway.
My 5th grade teacher the very next year again in front of the class told told me I was a burden on my parents and a waste of time teaching because of having CF and being dead etc...
Finally when I finished school (year 12 here)and was applying for university I was told not to bother applying as I would be taking up an able/healthy persons position...
