Equal Access

Amanda,
I applaud your dedication, but I think it is important to be realistic, as well. If there are hands-on elements to a field and the student is unable to perform those hands-on functions in the educational setting, there is little thought that they might be able to do those things on the job. That doesn't necessarily mean the shouldn't have access to -- or be able to use -- those elements of the field that are NOT restricted by their disability, but it does mean that standards should be changed or lowered in order to allow students to succeed.
