[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, in DC the required teacher/child ratio at age 2 is 1:4, so it is not like a PP suggested that there are a huge number of kids per teacher.  If she can walk down the stairs while holding hands, I see no reason why it would not be a reasonable accommodation to ask that a teacher hold her hand during a fire drill.

I'd also don't see what's wrong with teaching her to butt scoot down stairs, in addition to having the accommodation of holding a hand.  I'd think you need more upper body strength than lower.

You guys are crazy if you think that agreeing an adult will hold a child's hand down the stairs is so unreasonable that the center can refuse to move the child up to an age or skill-appropriate room.

Also, contrary to a PPs suggestion, a kid who is late to potty training due to a disability can't be denied a spot in an age appropriate room if that is the only accommodation issue.  Go read some ADA cases.  [/quote]

How about, before you call people crazy, you go back and reread the original post to make sure you're not screwing up the premise.[/quote]
