[quote=Anonymous]Accommodation explicitly does *not * mean adjusting standards. Even if someone gets from X to Z by using different tools or different amounts of time, they are supposed to be evaluated on Z, not Y. I have students with accommodations for spelling, for example, but that does not mean they are allowed to not write in full sentences or to not finish a paper. Let's say for the sake of argument that this is for a theater *course,* so the 504 applies. Accommodation during an audition might look like an extra 10 seconds for the student to breathe deeply and drink a sip of water between excerpts. Or it might look like being auditioned before only the selection committee and not the whole bunch of other kids who are waiting their turn. It would not, however, look like casting a person whose audition did not demonstrate that they could perform the part to the standard required by the production. [/quote]
