[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ADA does require reasonable accommodations, including in private businesses, when doing so doesn't impose an undue burden. This isn’t about going "above the law"—it is the law. I realize you're not open to rethinking your position, so I’m not going to keep going in circles. Take care.[/quote]

Key words being an undue burden. This is where all the conflict is and no wonder, because it’s ambiguous.

My mother-in-law doesn’t believe I’m really working when I tell her I’m working from home. She considers it a small thing for me to talk to her while I’m working. She considers me rude for asking her to stop. People have different ideas of what accommodations cost.[/quote]

Also, we need to separate the two issues here: (1) was it an undue burden for swim teachers to ON THE SPOT shift to another teaching style to accommodate a SN kid that they just learned about while they are in the water.  (2) is it an undue burden, with advance notice, to have a swim teacher offer another teaching style to accommodate a SN kid in the future.

Meeting #2 is potentially a reasonable accommodation.  My suspicion is that the school would have absolutely met #2, but that OP was such a loon with her on the spot demands that they wanted her to leave the program.

Meeting #2 is nuts and an undue burden.  That OP is still pushing for it tells me she's not a parent that a program like this wants to be dealing with. Hence, #1. [/quote]
