[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's little debate about whether a person is deaf or blind or needs glasses. [/quote] But the same accomodations work for a person who is dyslexic as those that are for a person that is blind. Why discriminate against one disability and not the other. [/quote] The question is whether the disability REQUIRES the accommodation to access the regular curriculum. If we're trying to boost everyone onto a level playing field regardless of their intelligence and ability, then what's the point of evaluation at all? We might as well just go to ungraded colleges. [/quote] It the case of my DC, the answer is yes, it is required for him to access the curriculum. He has the intelligence, the persistence, the drive, and the ability to do the work. He goes to a fairly highly ranked college and does extremely well. [/quote]
