The world of diving has been opened up to many individuals with disabiliites both mental and physical with the introduction of Training Agencies that specialise in this area. There are two main organisations, DDI and IAHD. These organisations have specific programs depending on the nature of the disability. One concern you had was diving abroad. This should not be an issue as these organisations are worldwide. I work in Thailand and there are centres equipped for disabled divers with trained Instructors. If you need to find a centre abroad then contact the training organisations and they will furnish you with all the contacts.
You forgot to mention the orginal in this field the Handicapped SCUBA Association International aka HSA which is celebtating its 30th year this year.

Well, You can never underestimate people who has disabilities on hand, admire them for they can do.
You'll never know time can get very unusual sometimes.

I know you've already gotten your answers, but my sister has systemic JRA which means she has extremely limited mobility and strength in all 4 limbs. She was just certified in August of 2010 here in KC, as we happen to have an adaptive scuba instructor right in our shop. We are SSI and with those standards, she needs 3 people underwater with her... but she was able to do the air inflate by squeezing it to her chest if she wanted to do it on her own... otherwise there were buddies (us) there to do it for her. And as the others have been saying, if paraplegics, quadriplegics, blind, etc., can do it, your friend will have no problems at all...
