i would get these requirements in writing and get in writing the purpose for the requirements. i would work with your daughter's doctor to determine if the doctor is of the opinion that the restrictions are appropriate. the doctor's opinion is crucial and i would get this opinion in writing. please call if we can help. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600
