No - that is probably not a reasonable accommodation for the very reason you suggest... because it means a fundamental alteration in the way the program is structured. Note that I said PROBABLY. There still needs to be consideration of whether the request is reasonable or whether there is some other way that the intent of the educational objectives can be met. Is the group class setting a part of the educational experience (that is, group work is part of what you are training), or is it simply the way it is usually done? You have to leave the door open to consideration -- but you don't have to say "yes"! GRIN Dr. Jane Jarrow
