���� Editor's Note
We would like to ask your understanding of the
fact that this Guidebook for Persons with
Disability is published in a comparatively small
font size. While we are trying to incorporate as
much information as possible, the available
space for editorial text is rather limited. This in
turn demands a compromise between
increased legibility and information content.
This brochure can also be viewed on the
internet under www.kiel.de where it can be
enlarged for improved legibility, especially for
older and/or vision-impaired persons. In the
meantime we will gladly assist you in finding
solutions to your individual problems.
